Innovating for our passengers and public transport authorities, to support the local mobility of tomorrow.

Innovation is a key lever for making public transport greener, more efficient and more attractive.

In a constantly changing world, innovation is a necessity and a daily challenge.

Innovation is first and foremost a mindset. See problems as levers and change as opportunities!

Never overlook the vast opportunity in "ordinary innovation" to iteratively improve systems with simple solutions.

No sustainable solution exists without innovation, which itself is fed by a constant curiosity for improvement.

Innovation changes how we use and appreciate public mobility.

If you’re not embarrassed by your first prototype, you’ve waited too long to test it.

Innovating in our regions to do more with less.

Incremental, disruptive, open, digital, technological, frugal... Innovation is primarily at the service of use.

Innovation is central in our approach and a driving force behind our operational excellence.

Innovation is about capturing ideas and turning them into actions. It comes from every department and impacts us all.

Innovation means starting from the field, understanding its needs and changing perspective to bring forth new solutions.

At Keolis-MH, innovation drives transformation. We empower people, aiming to be the regional reference for innovation.

Today's focus enables our embedded systems to anticipate tomorrow's needs.

Smart shared mobility is the way of the future, contributing to sustainable development and a better quality of life.

Offer safe, reliable, and accessible autonomous mobility solutions to underserved areas.

Innovating ? To be pragmatic while being dreamy, to respond to today's challenges with tomorrow's solutions.

I support the operators of the control stations during the reception and the production of new tools.

The dynamics of our territorial network of innovation correspondents is a real asset to go further, faster.

Innovation means daring to question the obvious, listening to the ground, & turning each idea into concrete improvement.

Innovation begins with people and succeeds through collaboration.

Connect, unify, streamline: innovation at the heart of MaaS.

Developing open innovation with all stakeholders to improve the quality of life of citizens.

With innovative solutions, we can expand public transportation to affordable public mobility.

Facilitate mobility for our users with safe, flexible, and inclusive autonomous public transportation.
