What they do
Their core work
MEMEX SRL is an Italian technology SME based in Livorno that specializes in intelligent transport systems (ITS) and data-driven solutions for urban mobility. They develop monitoring tools for public transport, data gathering platforms for sustainable mobility planning, and have expanded into big data processing for transport-related applications. Their work bridges the gap between urban mobility policy (SUMPs, SULPs) and the digital tools needed to implement evidence-based transport planning.

Intelligent transport systems and data gatheringprimary
3 projects
ITS and data gathering are explicit keywords in DESTINATIONS; automated vehicle monitoring was the focus of CELSO (which they coordinated); CIPTEC addressed public transport innovation.
Public transport innovationsecondary
2 projects
Coordinated CELSO on automated vehicle monitoring for public transport; participated in CIPTEC on collective innovation for public transport.
Big data and high-performance computing for transportemerging
1 project
EVOLVE project applied advanced computing platforms and fast storage architectures to extract value from large-scale data, with transportation as a key domain.

1 project
DESTINATIONS explicitly addressed tourism mobility, shared economy business models, and public-private partnerships in CIVITAS city contexts.
Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
Public transport ITS and monitoring
Recent focus
Big data and mobility planning frameworks
In their earlier projects (2015–2017), MEMEX focused on public transport operations — collective innovation in transit (CIPTEC), automated vehicle monitoring (CELSO), and tourism-related urban mobility with ITS and data gathering (DESTINATIONS). From 2018 onward, they shifted toward data infrastructure and strategic planning: big data workflows and cloud-enabled testbeds in EVOLVE, and systematic urban mobility planning frameworks (SUMP/SULP) in SUMP-PLUS. The trajectory shows a clear move from transport service tools toward the data platforms and planning methodologies that underpin smart mobility.
MEMEX is moving upstream from transport tools toward data-intensive planning platforms, positioning them for smart city and MaaS-related collaborations.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: active_partnerReach: European21 countries collaborated
MEMEX operates predominantly as a participant (5 of 6 projects), contributing specialist capability rather than leading large consortia. They coordinated once — CELSO, an SME Phase 1 feasibility study — which is typical for SMEs testing a product concept. With 88 unique partners across 21 countries, they are well-networked and comfortable in large, diverse consortia (DESTINATIONS and SUMP-PLUS are both multi-city CIVITAS-type projects), making them a reliable and experienced partner to bring into transport-focused proposals.
MEMEX has collaborated with 88 distinct partners across 21 countries, indicating broad European reach built through large CIVITAS-type transport consortia. Their network spans municipal authorities, research institutions, and transport operators across Western and Southern Europe.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
MEMEX combines hands-on ITS development (vehicle monitoring, data gathering) with strategic urban mobility planning expertise — a rare combination in a small company. Most SMEs in transport tech focus on either building tools or advising on policy; MEMEX does both, which means they can contribute to technical work packages and to city-level mobility planning simultaneously. Their CIVITAS network and experience with tourism mobility also make them particularly relevant for Mediterranean and tourist-heavy city contexts.
Notable projects
Highlights from their portfolio
- DESTINATIONSLargest funding (€496K), longest duration (5 years), and richest keyword profile — covering tourism mobility, ITS, shared economy, and public-private partnerships in a CIVITAS framework.
- CELSOOnly project where MEMEX was coordinator — an SME Phase 1 feasibility study for a low-cost automated vehicle monitoring system for public transport.
- EVOLVEMarks MEMEX's expansion into big data and HPC, applying cloud-enabled testbeds to transportation, maritime, and automotive domains — a significant capability diversification.
