What does innovation look like when millions of passengers depend on you every day?

In this episode of There’s a Startup for That, we go inside Keolis, the global mobility operator, to explore how its open innovation program, Open by Keolis, brings startups directly into live transport networks.

Adrien Broue, who leads the program, shares how Keolis tests and scales new solutions in the field, what “open” truly means inside a safety-critical environment, the challenges that come with innovating across global cities, and what Keolis looks for in a startup partner.

If you’re building in mobility, transport tech, or urban innovation, this episode is a front-row seat to how a global operator accelerates sustainable, scalable change.
