A fellow of the MIT Sloan School of Management, Jean-Jacques Degroof has extensive experience in international business ventures. One of Jean-Jacques Degroof’s early investments was Zipcar. The car-sharing network Zipcar is an innovative company at the forefront of revolutionizing how people use transport. Its members get access to cars on-demand, allowing them to drive whenever they want wherever they are, without having to own vehicles themselves. All someone has to do to join the network is simply apply online. Once approval is granted, the applicant will receive a Zipcard by mail. With this, the person can activate Zipcar on a smartphone, book a nearby car, unlock it by tapping the card onto a reader on the windshield, get in, and drive. But Zipcar is doing more than just changing how people travel. It is also helping them save on costs while making the world greener. Thanks to Zipcar’s affordable rates, members save an average of $600 a month over car owners. In addition, every Zipcar is estimated to take 13 personally owned vehicles off the street. Zipcar members also drive 5,500 miles less per year, saving 32 million gallons of oil. That means less greenhouse gas emissions and cleaner air.
