The platform translates complex data into actionable insights, supporting efficient urban planning and fostering safer, greener city environments.
Founded in 2019 by Thibault Castagne, Frédéric Robinet, and Thibaud Febvre, Vianova addresses a critical market gap. The co-founders recognized the need for comprehensive tools and data for public and private entities to effectively manage urban mobility. Their expertise in data and policy formed the foundation for this essential platform.
Vianova serves diverse clients including cities, governments, and various mobility operators globally. The platform enhances shared mobility, road safety, climate analytics, and logistics management. Its vision empowers urban stakeholders with data-driven insights, contributing to more liveable, safer, and sustainable cities via intelligent mobility solutions.
Key people at Vianova I/O.
Vianova I/O is a Paris-based startup founded in 2019 that builds an AI-driven spatial intelligence platform for urban mobility. It aggregates data from over 1,000 sources, including connected vehicles, to provide real-time analytics, dashboards, and decision tools for cities, transport operators, and logistics firms[2][1][7]. The platform solves challenges like congestion, safety, shared mobility management, and emissions by enabling data sharing, geofencing, and custom automations while ensuring GDPR compliance and anonymization[2][3][5]. Serving clients such as Stockholm, Zurich, Amsterdam, Marseille, Bolt, Voi, RATP, and Aéroports de Paris, Vianova processes vast daily data volumes, has saved tons of CO2, and tracks over 1 million vehicles, demonstrating strong growth with more than 100 cities and businesses worldwide and a team of 30+ across five offices[2][3][7].
Vianova I/O emerged in 2019 from founders with expertise in data, mobility, and urban policy, including Thibaud Febvre based in Paris[1][7]. The idea addressed the need for a neutral data platform to bridge cities and private mobility operators—like e-scooters, bikes, ride-hailing, and autonomous vehicles—facilitating collaboration via open-source standards without invasive monitoring[5][3]. Early traction came quickly: by 2022, it raised a $6.4M Series A led by Baloise VC, with XAnge, RATP Capital Innovation, and Ponooc, bringing total funding to $10.4M, and expanded to track 1M vehicles while partnering with major European cities[3][6][7]. Pivotal moments include adoption by Stockholm and Voi for service improvements and recognition as a top EU sustainable mobility startup[3][7].
Vianova rides the micromobility and smart city wave, capitalizing on surging shared, electric, and autonomous vehicles amid urbanization and net-zero mandates[1][2][3]. Timing aligns with post-2020 regulatory pushes for data openness (e.g., EU Mobility Data Spaces) and cities' needs to manage clutter from scooters/bikes while cutting car dependency, as seen in Stockholm and Zurich[3][5]. Market forces like rising congestion, Vision Zero safety goals, and climate resilience favor its neutral aggregator role, influencing ecosystems by standardizing data flows—operators share voluntarily for better ops, cities gain insights for infrastructure without Big Brother surveillance[2][5]. This positions Vianova as a "control tower" for multi-modal mobility, fostering greener, equitable public spaces and enabling trends like curb optimization amid e-commerce booms[2][6].
Vianova I/O stands out as a high-momentum player in urban mobility intelligence, with expanding client base, funding, and global offices signaling scalability. Next steps likely include deeper AI automations, broader data marketplace adoption, and U.S./Asia entry to leverage 5M+ connected vehicles projected by 2030. Trends like AV integration, 15-minute cities, and mandatory data-sharing regs will propel growth, evolving its influence from data broker to indispensable policy enabler—ultimately making streets safer, greener, and more efficient, as its platform already demonstrates at scale[2][3][7].
Vianova I/O has raised $11.2M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $6.0M Vianova - Series A in December 2022.
