Moroccan-Senegalese startup Weego, founded by Saad Jittou\u00a0 and Mor Niane, today announced it has closed a $1.1 million funding round with Azur\u00a0 Innovation Fund. This round aims to accelerate the deployment of its multimodal transport\u00a0 platform in Morocco, both for the general public and for businesses, and to initiate its\u00a0 expansion across Africa, Europe and the Middle East.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Addressing the challenges of 2030: the digital transport infrastructure\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Urban congestion is one of the main economic obstacles in major African cities. With major 2030\u00a0 milestones approaching, the smooth flow of urban transport has become a matter of sovereignty and\u00a0 attractiveness for the Kingdom. Weego positions itself as the digital link between the different modes of\u00a0 transport: buses, trams, taxis and private transport services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than offering multiple isolated solutions, Weego provides a single entry point for users. The goal:\u00a0 to make public transport as simple and predictable as using a private car by allowing users to plan and\u00a0 track their trips in real time on a single interface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A regional ambition and a lever for businesses\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

While Morocco serves as a base of excellence, Weego is already projecting its model of smart mobility\u00a0 across the entire region (Africa, Europe and the Middle East), where urban transport issues are similar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside its work on public transport, Weego is strengthening its solutions for businesses. The startup\u00a0 helps employers optimize employee transportation, thereby reducing logistics costs and carbon\u00a0 footprint, while improving punctuality and employee comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTransportation is the primary obstacle to economic activity in our cities. By 2030, our metropolitan areas\u00a0 will have to manage unprecedented passenger flows. At Weego, we are building the technological layer\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

that connects existing infrastructure to make it more efficient. This funding enables us to accelerate this\u00a0 vision in Morocco and begin our regional expansion,\u201d <\/span>Saad Jittou, CEO and co-founder of\u00a0 Weego<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A strategic investment for Azur Innovation Fund\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

This support from Azur Innovation Fund confirms the strategic importance of the Smart City in current\u00a0 economic development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adnane Filali, Managing Partner at Azur Innovation Fund<\/b>, added, \u201cWeego\u2019s\u00a0 approach addresses a critical need: the unification of transport modes. By investing in this solution, we\u00a0 are supporting a Moroccan innovation capable of becoming a regional standard and meeting the\u00a0 modernization requirements of our African cities.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
