ATOBE - MOBILITY TECHNOLOGY SA

Their core work

A-to-Be is a Portuguese mobility technology company specialising in intelligent transport systems, connected vehicle technologies, and data-driven traffic management. Their work centres on processing and fusing multimodal transport data to optimise how people and freight move across road networks — from individual vehicle behaviour to city-scale traffic flows. In practice, they contribute software expertise and transport modelling capabilities to large research consortia, turning sensor and network data into actionable predictions and management strategies. Their commercial background likely sits at the intersection of tolling, traffic operations, and smart mobility services.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

A-to-Be entered H2020 in 2018 with a narrow focus on 5G connectivity for cross-border automated vehicle corridors — a single, infrastructure-heavy application. By 2021, their keyword profile had broadened substantially into data analytics, behavioural modelling, and network-level optimisation across passenger and freight modes. The shift suggests a strategic move from connectivity-layer work toward the data intelligence layer — less about the communication pipe, more about what you do with the data it carries.

A-to-Be appears to be positioning itself as a transport data intelligence provider, moving up the value chain from vehicle connectivity toward predictive traffic management and decision-support systems for network operators.

How they like to work

A-to-Be participates exclusively as a consortium partner — they have never coordinated an H2020 project. Despite only two projects, they have engaged with 80 unique partners across 14 countries, which for a two-project portfolio is unusually broad and points to large, multi-partner consortia rather than tight bilateral work. This suggests they are comfortable operating as a specialist contributor within complex, multi-stakeholder transport research programmes.

A-to-Be has reached 80 unique consortium partners across 14 countries through just two projects, indicating participation in large pan-European transport consortia. Their geographic footprint is strongly European, consistent with the cross-border nature of both 5G corridor testing and multimodal traffic research.

What sets them apart

A-to-Be occupies a specific niche that combines real-world transport operations experience with research-grade data modelling — a combination not common among purely academic or purely industrial partners. As a Portuguese private company (not classified as an SME) active in both 5G mobility and multimodal traffic analytics, they bring an operator's perspective to technical consortia that are otherwise dominated by universities and infrastructure agencies. For consortium builders, they offer credibility as a technology integrator with feet in both the connectivity and the data analytics worlds.

Highlights from their portfolio

• TANGENT
  Their largest funded project at EUR 558,594, covering the full stack of multimodal traffic intelligence — behaviour modelling, simulation, optimisation, and data fusion — within a single RIA.
• 5G-MOBIX
  Early entry into 5G-connected automated mobility on cross-border corridors, a high-visibility topic that positioned them within the emerging CAV ecosystem at EU level.
