Finalists 2021
CITiO is a start-up based in France. Since 2018, they offer SaaS solutions to support public transport authorities (PTAs) and operators in the optimisation of transport networks and improvement of data management through Big Data and Artificial Intelligence.
CITiO is a team of 30 people: Experienced professionals in the Mobility and Tech sectors (Data Scientists and PhD profiles); and young tech-professionals who share CITiO’s ambition to support PTA’s overcoming the existing barriers to leverage the millions of data generated by transport networks.
CITiO is a pioneer in the collection of data generated by different systems; they aggregate these data in a single and ergonomic platform to offer better access, visualization and analysis. The monitoring of vehicle occupancy through ticketing and AVL is the basis of the Crowding API, their solution that predicts vehicle occupancy. PTAs using their solution can integrate this information in their traveller information application. The Crowding API allows PTAs to better monitor vehicle occupancy; identify overloaded routes; adjust the fleet allocation in less than 24 hours; and encourage citizens to use public transportation by informing them about vehicle occupancy and giving them the liberty to plannify trips better. CITiO’s algorithms ensure 95% accuracy in the predictions; it is an easy-to-use solution that does not need any hardware installation (it can be set-up in one month and is affordable to all types of transport networks).
The three engineers, Thomas Korn, Markus Schneider, and Alvaro Sousa, know each other for a long time. Today, they combine their talents and expertise in the high-tech company KEYOU, founded at the end of 2015. With KEYOU, the three founders pursue a common goal: affordable and clean mobility based on the most sustainable fuel of the future – hydrogen. Together with their team of approximately 45 employees, the founders develop and work on their so-called KEYOU-inside technology.
The shared vision of the KEYOU founders kept the development of the hydrogen engine alive, inventing a new generation of hydrogen engines. KEYOU is the first company to bring the hydrogen engine back, starting a global trend for hycrogen-powered mobility. They believe in hydrogen, dedicating their energy and enthusiasm to redeveloping a technology written off by many.
This dedication to overcome all obstacles and barriers, pushing the hydrogen engine against the ever-growing support for electric mobility, makes them unique. They are trendsetters, looking forward to a future of zero-emission hydrogen engines. But they not only promote hydrogen engines in politics and society. We have already won several well-known OEMs as their customers in Europe and Asia.
Founded in 2015, their Potsdam-based startup now has 19 employees from 9 countries, who contribute their knowledge and opinions from across the globe to their business. MOTIONTAG has become a pioneer in mobility analytics on a European level. They have developed the first-ever software, which generates detailed and highly granular real-time data on one’s mobility behavior. They can automatically identify the ten modes of transportation, including walking and biking, and the exact lines of public transport chosen by each passenger.
With the help of this technology, they have set themselves to use their generated data solely to create added value for the entire mobility market and improve the lives of millions.
MOTIONTAG is helping businesses like Deutsche Bahn, SBB, and Swisscom reduce their users’ carbon footprint. By collaborating with national champions, they can have the biggest impact on their mission to help fight the climate challenge. Therefore, launching the B2C app “Muenster bewegt”, which is aimed to fight the climate crisis, is a logical continuation of previous achievements. By collaborating with several NGOs, they were able to build a digital platform, which connects citizens, opinion leaders, public authorities, and local business owners with the same goal of reducing the carbon footprint.
Sponsorship winner start-up for their contribution to solving a mobility-relevant social challenge
