Moroccan-Senegalese startup Weego, founded by Saad Jittou and Mor Niane, today announced it has closed a $1.1 million funding round with Azur Innovation Fund. This round aims to accelerate the deployment of its multimodal transport platform in Morocco, both for the general public and for businesses, and to initiate its expansion across Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
Addressing the challenges of 2030: the digital transport infrastructure
Urban congestion is one of the main economic obstacles in major African cities. With major 2030 milestones approaching, the smooth flow of urban transport has become a matter of sovereignty and attractiveness for the Kingdom. Weego positions itself as the digital link between the different modes of transport: buses, trams, taxis and private transport services.
Rather than offering multiple isolated solutions, Weego provides a single entry point for users. The goal: to make public transport as simple and predictable as using a private car by allowing users to plan and track their trips in real time on a single interface.
A regional ambition and a lever for businesses
While Morocco serves as a base of excellence, Weego is already projecting its model of smart mobility across the entire region (Africa, Europe and the Middle East), where urban transport issues are similar.
Alongside its work on public transport, Weego is strengthening its solutions for businesses. The startup helps employers optimize employee transportation, thereby reducing logistics costs and carbon footprint, while improving punctuality and employee comfort.
“Transportation is the primary obstacle to economic activity in our cities. By 2030, our metropolitan areas will have to manage unprecedented passenger flows. At Weego, we are building the technological layer
that connects existing infrastructure to make it more efficient. This funding enables us to accelerate this vision in Morocco and begin our regional expansion,” Saad Jittou, CEO and co-founder of Weego.
A strategic investment for Azur Innovation Fund
This support from Azur Innovation Fund confirms the strategic importance of the Smart City in current economic development.
Adnane Filali, Managing Partner at Azur Innovation Fund, added, “Weego’s approach addresses a critical need: the unification of transport modes. By investing in this solution, we are supporting a Moroccan innovation capable of becoming a regional standard and meeting the modernization requirements of our African cities.”
