Core contributor to IMOVE (combined mobility business models, journey planners, roaming), IP4MaaS (Shift2Rail MaaS deployment), and INCLUSION (accessible mobility solutions).
MOSAIC FACTOR SL
Barcelona-based data analytics SME building decision-support tools for MaaS, EV charging infrastructure, and multimodal transport optimization across Europe.
Their core work
Mosaic Factor is a Barcelona-based technology SME specializing in data analytics and decision-support tools for the transport and mobility sector. They build software platforms for mobility-as-a-service (MaaS), EV charging infrastructure planning, logistics optimization, and multimodal transport integration. Their work spans the full chain from freight logistics (port operations, intermodal transhipment) to passenger mobility (shared transport, demand-responsive services, journey planning). Across eight H2020 projects, they consistently provide the ICT and data modeling layer that helps cities, ports, and transport operators make smarter decisions.
What they specialise in
Active in eCharge4Drivers (location planning tool, scalable charging stations, low-power DC charging) and NeMo (electromobility hyper-network).
Contributed to CLUSTERS 2.0 (Physical Internet logistics, TEN-T transhipment) and COREALIS (port capacity and environmental footprint).
Recurring role across IMOVE, INCLUSION, IP4MaaS, CLUSTERS 2.0, and COREALIS — consistently providing ICT integration for combining transport modes.
Work on demand-responsive transport (IP4MaaS), location planning tools (eCharge4Drivers), and network optimization (NeMo) all point to analytical modeling capabilities.
How they've shifted over time
In their early H2020 period (2016–2019), Mosaic Factor focused on logistics networks and first-generation MaaS — freight transhipment along TEN-T corridors (CLUSTERS 2.0) and combined mobility business models with journey planners (IMOVE). From 2020 onward, their work shifted decisively toward electromobility and refined MaaS deployment — EV charging station planning, low-power DC charging for light electric vehicles (eCharge4Drivers), and Shift2Rail-backed MaaS demonstrations (IP4MaaS). Their largest single grant (PIONEERS, EUR 850K, starting 2021) signals growing involvement in port innovation and emissions reduction.
Mosaic Factor is moving from transport data modeling toward applied electromobility infrastructure, making them a strong fit for projects combining MaaS with EV charging and green logistics.
How they like to work
Mosaic Factor operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project, which is typical for a specialist SME that contributes specific technical components rather than managing large research agendas. With 208 unique partners across 24 countries in just 8 projects, they consistently join large consortia (averaging 26 partners per project). This broad network suggests they are well-connected in the European transport research community and easy to integrate into new teams.
Extensive European network of 208 unique consortium partners spanning 24 countries, built through participation in large transport and mobility consortia. Their Barcelona base and project portfolio suggest strong connections across Western and Southern Europe, with reach into the Shift2Rail and TEN-T communities.
What sets them apart
Mosaic Factor sits at the intersection of data analytics and transport policy — a rare SME that can build both the software tools (location planners, journey planners, demand models) and the analytical frameworks that transport authorities and operators need. Their dual expertise in passenger MaaS and freight logistics gives them unusual versatility within the transport sector. For consortium builders, they offer a reliable, experienced ICT partner with a proven track record of delivering data-driven components across diverse transport domains.
Highlights from their portfolio
- PIONEERSTheir largest single EC contribution (EUR 850,238), a major port innovation project running through 2026 — signals significant trust from the consortium.
- eCharge4DriversMarks their strategic pivot to electromobility with hands-on work on charging station planning tools and low-power DC charging for light electric vehicles.
- IMOVESubstantial funding (EUR 501,500) for building a European MaaS network — their most clearly defined role in combined mobility and journey planning.
