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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Innovating in our regions to do more with less.

As part of Keolis, we share global transit know-how to help partners adopt innovative, integrated mobility.

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.

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

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

Innovation changes how we use and appreciate public mobility.

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