Fastned brings partners, investors and friends together for insights and networking in Amsterdam
Over 200 partners, investors and long-standing friends of Fastned in the Netherlands came together at Amsterdam’s Postillion Hotel on June 4, 2026 for Fastned Behind The Scenes.
Over drinks and a walking dinner, guests mingled and chatted with Fastned experts while enjoying presentations and Q+A sessions on topics ranging from charging technology to commercial growth.
Fastned Co-founder and CEO Michiel Langezaal opened the evening with a recap of Fastned’s journey and key values, elaborating on our high-traffic location strategy, our unique vertically-integrated business model, and striving to give drivers the best charging experience available.
Following Michiel, interim CFO Remco Samuels looked back at 2025 and 2026 so far and gave insights into Fastned’s financial performance, station economics and funding potential. Remco also updated guests on Fastned’s increasing push towards station amenities such as retail facilities and toilets, as well as expanding on the company’s strategic priorities for the rest of 2026.
Guests then rotated between four informal break-out sessions, each hosted by Fastned experts and focusing on a specific aspect of Fastned’s business.
Luc Bronk (Senior Partnerships Manager) and Seth van Roemberg (Lead Technology Solutions) presented a talk on charging technology, giving explainers on Fastned’s newly-launched 1000 kW charger and trials of battery storage, while showing how our unique in-house charger management system allows us to maintain over 99% uptime.
Caroline Hoefsloot (Director of Marketing and Communications) and Albert den Boogert (Director of Growth) discussed how Fastned’s brand visibility and commercial offering has grown along with the business, and are helping us reach millions of drivers every day.
Roland van der Put (Head of Energy Management) spoke about energy sourcing, showing how we find the best balance between solar and wind energy and giving examples of the sustainable, long-term contracts which are essential for our growth. Patricia Allam (Head of Funding and Investor Relations) gave a deep-dive on the company’s finances, covering cost engine optimisations and our diversifying funding base. All Fastned speakers mingled and took further questions from guests throughout the evening.
Over nearly 15 years, Fastned has grown from an ambitious independent start-up into a European leader in fast charging, with more than 400 locations across 9 countries powering almost 7 million charging sessions to drivers in 2025 - and we’re on track to beat that in 2026.
This progress would not be possible without the support and belief of our community in our home country and largest national market. Fastned extends its thanks to everyone who joined us for this event, and is proud to bring this community together in support of the transition to electric mobility.
"Fastned's growth is built on the support and trust of drivers, investors and supporters, and this event is about bringing those people together to show them how we're advancing our mission. Thank you to everyone who joined us for such an enjoyable and insightful evening - we look forward to welcoming you to future Fastned events across our network soon."
