Goggo Network

Goggo Network is a European autonomous-mobility company established in 2018 and associated with Madrid, Berlin, and Paris. Its business model centers on creating and operating networks of autonomous vehicles for urban mobility, food delivery, and logistics rather than selling autonomous-driving hardware directly to consumers. The company has also positioned itself as a potential partner for public authorities, seeking to help governments develop licensing and operating frameworks for self-driving vehicles. The company was initially incorporated in 2018 under the name “105. ‘Media’ Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH” and adopted the Goggo Network name in November 2019. Its founding team included entrepreneur Martín Varsavsky, known for founding or backing businesses in telecommunications, energy, biotechnology, and technology, and Yasmine Fage, a former McKinsey & Company consultant. Goggo’s early geographic focus reflected regulatory developments in France, where changes to mobility legislation created an opportunity to test and eventually commercialize autonomous transport services. In January 2020, Goggo announced a €24 million Series A investment from Axel Springer and SoftBank. The company said the capital would support work in Germany and expand its presence in Spain and France. In 2021, Goggo was also connected with the proposed Levere Holdings SPAC transaction, which was announced as a Nasdaq listing plan under the symbol LVRAU. The available reference material does not establish that Goggo itself became a permanently listed public company, so it is treated here as private and its ticker is left unspecified. Goggo’s best-known early demonstration was Goggo Cart, an autonomous food truck designed to carry products and interact with pedestrians in controlled urban environments. A prototype was shown at Viva Technology in Paris in June 2021. Later that year, the company announced testing in Las Rozas de Madrid, describing the vehicle as the first self-driving food truck to operate on Spanish streets. Reports in February 2022 said the pilot had covered more than 50 kilometers and recorded over 1,000 interactions with pedestrians. The vehicle was described as capable of carrying up to 100 items, with approximately 400 liters of storage, and as using cameras, artificial intelligence, and other algorithms to identify and avoid obstacles. Goggo also developed sidewalk delivery operations in partnership with Glovo. The companies announced a pilot in Madrid’s Salamanca district in late 2021. The service, which began operating in February 2022, used autonomous delivery robots to collect orders from designated stores and deliver them to customers. The robots were designed to travel at pedestrian speeds, with a reported maximum speed of five kilometers per hour and approximately twelve hours of operating autonomy. Goggo presented these trials as a step toward larger autonomous delivery fleets in Spain. Alongside its commercial pilots, Goggo participated in mobility-industry and public-policy initiatives. In 2021 it was associated with France’s 5G Open Road project on the Plateau de Saclay, which sought to demonstrate connected-mobility services using 5G infrastructure. The company also took part in the Trafic 2021 mobility event in Madrid and advocated for clearer Spanish regulation governing autonomous vehicles. Its longer-term ambition has included passenger transport, although the publicly described activity has focused more concretely on food trucks, delivery robots, and fleet operations. Goggo’s present status, scale of deployment, and financial performance are not fully documented in the supplied reference material.

Goggo Network was created in Madrid in 2018 as a company intended to build autonomous-mobility networks across European cities. Its original corporate registration used the name “105. ‘Media’ Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH”; the business adopted the Goggo Network identity on November 14, 2019. The founding group was led by Martín Varsavsky and Yasmine Fage. Varsavsky brought experience as an entrepreneur and investor in telecommunications, energy, biotechnology, and technology, while Fage contributed consulting and operational experience from her time at McKinsey & Company. The company’s initial strategy was shaped by the evolving legal environment for autonomous vehicles. Regulatory changes in France during 2019 encouraged Goggo to begin developing operations there, while Spain remained an important base for testing and commercial experimentation. Goggo’s stated ambition was not limited to building individual autonomous vehicles. It sought to operate fleets and provide the organizational, technological, and operational infrastructure required for autonomous mobility services. The company also aimed to work with governments on licensing systems for self-driving vehicles. Goggo’s first significant financing milestone came in January 2020, when it raised €24 million in a Series A round involving Axel Springer and SoftBank. The funding was intended to finance German activity and reinforce the company’s position in Spain and France. In February 2020, Martín Varsavsky became chief executive officer, while Yasmine Fage served as chief operating officer. The company subsequently expanded its public profile through demonstrations, industry events, and infrastructure projects. In March 2021, a proposed SPAC transaction involving Levere Holdings was announced. The vehicle, associated with Goggo Network and led by Varsavsky and Fage, was described as seeking a Nasdaq listing under the symbol LVRAU. The announced transaction was reported at $250 million, with Deutsche Bank and Citigroup acting as lead guarantors. The available material does not establish that the transaction was completed or that Goggo became a listed company; accordingly, the brand is classified as private in this dossier. Goggo’s most visible technology demonstration in 2021 was Goggo Cart, an autonomous food truck. A prototype appeared at Viva Technology in Paris in June. In September, Goggo presented the project at a mobility, home, and sustainable-cities event in Madrid and announced a pilot on Calle Real in Las Rozas de Madrid. The vehicle was designed to move slowly through an urban environment, identify obstacles, and make food or other products available to pedestrians. Reports published in February 2022 stated that the vehicle had traveled more than 50 kilometers and had recorded more than 1,000 interactions with pedestrians. Reported specifications included capacity for up to 100 objects and approximately 400 liters of total storage. The company also pursued autonomous last-mile logistics. After participating in the Trafic 2021 event in Madrid, Goggo partnered with Glovo on a delivery-robot pilot in the Salamanca district. The service began in February 2022. Its robots were designed to travel on sidewalks at roughly pedestrian speed, collect orders from participating stores, and deliver them to customers. Public descriptions gave the robots a maximum speed of five kilometers per hour and approximately twelve hours of autonomy. The pilot represented a shift from technology demonstration toward platform-integrated delivery operations. Goggo participated in France’s 5G Open Road project, a government-supported initiative on the Plateau de Saclay intended to test connected-mobility services and 5G-enabled infrastructure. The company also continued to advocate for regulatory clarity in Spain. In early 2022, Fage described passenger transport as a possible future application if the company’s smart-delivery operations proved successful. Goggo stated that a broader fleet of autonomous delivery robots could circulate in Spain by 2023, but the supplied sources do not document whether that target was achieved. The available public record therefore supports describing Goggo as an active autonomous-mobility developer and fleet-operations company with pilots and partnerships, while leaving its current deployment scale and financial performance unknown.
