What they look for

Openvia seeks to develop new services and improve Globalvia's core business by building the "mobility of the future." Their thesis centers on digitalizing conventional infrastructure to serve the digital user of today and tomorrow, focusing heavily on B2B, B2C, IT infrastructure, micro-mobility, and mobility technology. They prioritize disruptive and scalable solutions that improve operational security, provide real-time traffic/incident information, automate review and inspection processes, and optimize real-time responses to users. They are particularly interested in computer vision, AI-driven traffic analytics, V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communications, and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure like vertiports.
