Eurowag was founded in 1995 by Czech entrepreneur and philanthropist Martin Vohánka, shortly after he graduated from school. Martin has successfully developed and scaled the business through purpose-driven leadership. Today, Eurowag is a leading pan-European integrated payment and mobility platform focused on the commercial road transportation ("CRT") industry.

In October 2021, the company was listed on the London Stock Exchange and has recently entered the FTSE 250. The company's workforce is 1,000 strong, with 18 offices across Europe.
At Eurowag, sustainability has been made a core part of the business' purpose: to create financial & technological solutions for the benefit of industry, society and the environment. In 2021, the company formalised its sustainability strategy, setting out the foundations for its environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments and targets. At the core of its strategy, the business is focused on helping its customers compete, grow and prosper in a low-carbon future. The strategy includes specific priorities covering carbon reduction, inclusion, and employer of choice amongst European tech.
