DIGIMOBEE

Their core work

DIGIMOBEE is a Paris-based technology SME specialising in digital mobility services — software platforms, applications, and integration layers that connect urban transport systems with end users. Their project portfolio points to two complementary capabilities: modernising public bus systems with digital interfaces (EBSF_2) and building aggregated multi-modal mobility platforms that pull together services and data from multiple operators (MASAI). In practical terms, they build the digital glue between transport infrastructure and the traveller — think real-time information, service aggregation, and app-based mobility experiences. Their participation in both an Innovation Action and a Research and Innovation Action suggests they can operate at both the applied development and earlier research stages.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Both H2020 projects ran concurrently in the same 2015–2018 window, so there is no temporal shift visible within their EU project record — DIGIMOBEE entered and exited the H2020 programme with a consistent focus on digital mobility services. The pairing of EBSF_2 (infrastructure-side bus modernisation) and MASAI (user-side service aggregation) suggests they were already pursuing a two-sided strategy early on: connecting the supply of transport with the demand for integrated digital services. Without post-2018 H2020 data, it is not possible to confirm whether this trajectory continued or evolved toward newer mobility themes such as autonomous vehicles or electrification.

Based solely on H2020 data, DIGIMOBEE appears to be a consistent specialist in digital mobility integration — but the absence of any H2020 activity after 2015 limits confidence in projecting a current trajectory.

How they like to work

DIGIMOBEE has participated exclusively as a consortium partner, never taking a coordinator role, which suggests they prefer to contribute specialist digital capability within larger projects rather than lead them. Despite only two projects, they engaged with 51 unique partners across 10 countries — an unusually wide network for an SME at this scale, pointing to active participation in large pan-European consortia. This breadth of partners relative to project count indicates they are sought as a specialist node rather than a hub, and they are comfortable operating within complex multi-partner environments.

DIGIMOBEE has built connections with 51 unique partners across 10 countries from just two projects, indicating membership in large, geographically diverse European transport consortia. Their network skews toward the EU public transport ecosystem — operators, cities, research institutes, and transport technology firms — rather than any single national cluster.

What sets them apart

DIGIMOBEE occupies a specific niche at the intersection of public transport digitalisation and multi-modal service integration — areas that became central to European smart city and MaaS policy after 2016, meaning their early project experience aligns well with current demand. As a small French private company rather than a large integrator or university, they likely offer agility and focused application development that larger system vendors cannot match at the same cost point. For a consortium needing a credible digital mobility SME with proven EU project experience, DIGIMOBEE brings both technical depth and an established cross-European partner network.

Highlights from their portfolio

• MASAI
  The largest single funding award (EUR 696,250) and the project most directly aligned with Mobility-as-a-Service — a now-mainstream concept that was pioneering when MASAI launched in 2015.
• EBSF_2
  Part of the long-running European Bus System of the Future programme, giving DIGIMOBEE exposure to the continent's core public bus modernisation network and its operator stakeholders.
