What they do
Their core work
Ayuntamiento de Vigo is the municipal government of Vigo, Spain's largest city in Galicia and a major Atlantic port. In H2020, they served as a living lab and urban testbed for connected and automated mobility technologies, providing real-world road infrastructure, traffic management systems, and regulatory access for pilot deployments. Their contribution centers on enabling large-scale trials of autonomous driving, 5G-connected vehicles, and cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) within their city boundaries.
Core expertise
What they specialise in
5G corridors for transportsecondary
1 project
5G-MOBIX specifically tested 5G-enabled automated mobility on cross-border corridors, their largest funded project.
IoT-enabled autonomous drivingsecondary
1 project
AUTOPILOT explored how Internet of Things infrastructure supports automated driving scenarios.
C-ITS urban pilot siteprimary
2 projects
Both C-MobILE and 5G-MOBIX required city-level deployment of cooperative intelligent transport systems infrastructure.
Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
IoT autonomous driving pilots
Recent focus
5G cross-border automated mobility
Vigo's involvement began in 2017 with IoT-based autonomous driving pilots (AUTOPILOT) and C-ITS deployment acceleration (C-MobILE), then moved toward 5G-connected cross-border mobility by 2018. The progression shows a clear path from general connected vehicle testing toward higher-bandwidth, cross-border automated mobility corridors. Their focus narrowed and deepened rather than diversified.
Vigo is positioning itself as a 5G-ready smart mobility pilot city, likely seeking roles in future connected corridor and urban automation projects.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: infrastructure_providerReach: European20 countries collaborated
Exclusively a participant in large Innovation Action consortia — never a coordinator. With 143 unique partners across 20 countries from just 3 projects, they operate within very large consortia (averaging ~48 partners per project). This is typical for a city authority providing urban infrastructure and pilot site access rather than driving technical development.
Through just 3 projects, Vigo has connected with 143 partners across 20 countries, reflecting the massive scale of EU mobility innovation actions. Their network is broad but likely shallow — many co-participants rather than deep bilateral relationships.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
As a major Atlantic port city with over 290,000 inhabitants, Vigo offers a distinct urban mobility testbed combining port logistics, hilly terrain, and cross-border proximity to Portugal. For consortium builders seeking a Spanish pilot city for connected mobility trials, Vigo provides municipal authority, road network access, and proven experience hosting EU-scale deployments. Their border location with Portugal makes them especially relevant for cross-border corridor projects.
Notable projects
Highlights from their portfolio
- 5G-MOBIXLargest funding (EUR 107,562) and focused on cross-border 5G corridors — Vigo's proximity to Portugal makes it a natural fit for border-crossing automated mobility tests.
- AUTOPILOTOne of the flagship EU projects connecting IoT with automated driving, involving major pilot sites across Europe.
