Kim Byung-wook , The Korea Herald - Lime said Wednesday it had been
named as one of the world’s top 100 influential companies by Time magazine.According to the world’s
leading e-scooter and e-bike operator, it has been categorized among the

last year and launched in dozens of new cities. In 2021, Lime comes full
circle: it will invest $50 million in upgrading its fleet and doubling its
footprint to 50 cities around the world,” said Time.Time evaluated each of the 100
companies on key factors including relevance, impact, innovation, leadership,

innovators, titans and disruptors.“Lime’s mission is to build the
future of safe and sustainable transportation. The designation is the proof of
our mission,” Lime CEO Wayne Ting said.In Korea, Lime operates some
20,000 e-scooters and recently joined Renewable Energy 100, a global initiative
