Düsseldorf, Germany, March 31, 2022 – McDermott Will & Emery advised Berlin-based mobility start-up Door2Door GmbH on the sale of all shares in the company to Dubai-based Swvl Inc. The transaction is expected to close within the second quarter of 2022.
This is the first investment in the German market for transportation-as-a-service provider Swvl Inc.

Via a SPAC, Swvl, which is valued at $1.5 billion, plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange shortly.
Door2Door offers complete solutions for a city’s local transport. This involves coordinating journeys using different means of transport. The offering is currently available in ten European countries.
