Mobility Signage secures €1.8M to unify public transport IT

Munich-based startup
Mobility Signage has raised €1.8 million in a pre-seed funding round to advance
its digital infrastructure platform for public transport. The round was led by
High-Tech Gründerfonds, with participation from 2bX.

Founded in 2023, Mobility
Signage addresses a growing challenge faced by transport operators: legacy,
fragmented IT systems that struggle to meet rising demand for real-time,
reliable passenger information. Rather than replacing existing infrastructure, the
company provides a central data architecture that integrates with current
systems.

Its platform acts as a
unified data and integration layer, structuring data flows, standardising
interfaces, and enabling consistent information delivery across multiple
channels, including departure boards, mobile applications, and public address
systems.

The system is modular, scalable, and hardware-independent, allowing
operators to modernise incrementally without overhauling their IT landscape.

Transport operators don’t
need additional standalone tools – they need a unifying system. Our approach replaces fragmented solutions with
an integrated and scalable platform,

said
co-founder Stefan Rademacher. 

Co-founder Dominik Nouri
added that the goal is to create a reliable foundation for real-time
information while enabling operators to continue using their existing systems.

Mobility Signage’s
platform is already deployed across a range of operators, from regional
networks to large transit authorities, and the company has established
partnerships with hardware manufacturers, reflecting broader industry adoption
of its open and integrable architecture.

The platform’s initial
modules automate key operational processes such as construction site
notifications and real-time disruption management, contributing to reduced
complexity and improved passenger communication.

The company plans to use
the capital to expand its team and accelerate development of its Data Hub and
application layer.
