Looking For Innovations In 3 Categories

Brisa’s mission is to provide efficient mobility for people – in cooperation with innovative startups that already have an MVP in place. To build the future of mobility, Brisa is looking for innovations in three categories:

• Road Infrastructure: Improving operations & engineering, including but not limited to big data & analytics, drones to assess and monitor roads, rails, bridges & lighting conditions and/or accidents & GNNS.
• Tolling & Telematics: Includes multimodal mobility (e.g. ticketing), recognition technologies (e.g. plate recognition) as well as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and the like.
• New Mobility: Fewer highways built and a lower car ownership culture calls for New Mobility solutions in the realm of Connectivity (V2I, V2X, Connected Vehicles, etc.).

Winning Startup Gets Access To Brisa’s Entire Resources

Together with the winning team, Brisa will build a pilot with the startup’s product or service, combining the startup capabilities with the resources and market reach of Brisa.

For the duration of the pilot, all the time needed to be worked on location (Brisa HQ, Portugal), Brisa will support travel expenses and accommodation for all members of the team who are working directly on the project. In addition, the project cost will also be supported by Brisa.

To further scale your product & accelerate development, GROW Mobility offers:

• The opportunity to work with a strong market leader and pioneer in electronic toll collection
• Full access to the entire spectrum of Brisa’s market incl. 8+ million clients, 1600+ km of road infrastructure & more

Brisa’s CCTVs and Heptasense’s computer vision algorithms were tested to automatically detect incidents on highways. 2019’s winner, PARKD, is currently preparing the launch of their pilot with Brisa to test PARKD’s value proposition of starting, stopping, and paying for fleets’ parking sessions automatically.
