Story of co.mobility
Where it all started.
Improving mobility for its users is a major challenge our society has faced for the past century. Climate change, urbanization, fiscal advantages for company cars, the general inefficiency of the public transportation system …, are just some of the causes that are putting massive stress on the Belgian mobility system.
However, new technology is being developed and novel mobility concepts are employed that radically change the playing field.
It is up to us to take these formidable opportunities into our own hands and construct a new way of mobility, which is accessible, durable, intermodal, economically viable and answers to citizen’s needs.
co.mobility assembles the industry around a common interest with the aim of developing citizen-centric solutions for today’s mobility challenges. By using the complexity of the industry as an asset, we are able to develop solutions that just one single company could not create.
Our program guides a group of about 50 corporates, start-ups, scales ups, but also academics and industry experts, throughout a journey that leads to 6 mobility solutions and finally 5 prototypes.
So, let’s challenge mobility!

Co.Mobility Manifesto
Download ‘Diagnostic & outlook on Belgian Mobility.
This manifesto written by our founding partners AG Insurance, BNP Paribas Fortis, Brussels Airport Company, Infrabel, NMBS/SNCB, Touring, in collaboration with Accenture and Espace Mobilité is a substantial analysis of what is happening in the Belgian mobility landscape. It tackles the different challenges that mobility encounters, what shifts are already happening, and it gives a heads-up on what the future of mobility might look like.
The co.mobility ecosystem is convinced that ecosystems and co-creation have the power to reach impactful solutions and will make our country take a leadership position in the European landscape. Through this manifesto, co.mobility proposes a strong approach to achieve such transformations.
There are a wide range of mobility-related opportunities to be seized if innovative practices are leveraged.
All of this can be done by actioning a series of levers that bring actors together to reach impactful solutions and accelerate the transition towards more efficient, durable and citizen-centric mobility.

Testimonials
Together, we’ll achieve more.
“For 125 years, Touring’s mission has been to facilitate the mobility of road users: cyclists, motorcyclists, car drivers,… We live in a constantly- evolving world. The digital revolution brings new possibilities to develop a more efficient and sustainable mobility for a better life. For more than two years, Touring has been investing in this endeavor, through its subsidiary Optimile, by developing a multimodal platform. There are currently several varied initiatives from all kinds of players and organizations. With co.mobility, Co.Station is an excellent platform to link all these initiatives and work together on the new mobility.”
“Mobility is a sector in full transformation. As an organization with activities in the heart of urban mobility, it is essential to be included in innovative projects and to work together with different partners at future-oriented solutions. This is an interesting opportunity for us. This includes for example the Mobility as a Service app (MaaS), for which STIB recently launched a recruitment call for a test panel. The app brings together different mobility partners to offer a service that is even better adapted to out customers. Linked to this, the on-demand mobility is also an opportunity for collaboration, just as well as vehicles with alternative propulsion.”
“When it comes to mobility, safety and punctuality are essential. Our customers also expect us to provide them with personalized and digitalized services, as well as intermodal solutions. To improve our customer experience, we want to introduce new technologies and promote a culture of innovation within our company. We also want to work with partners who share our ambition to innovate to create the green mobility of the future. Innovation is a means to contribute to more satisfied customers, not an end in itself.”
“As infrastructure and capacity manager, we are convinced that the future of mobility will be the result of new cross-cutting collaborations with existing and future mobility actors from a large range of sectors, bringing together their expertise to innovate. One key success factor is to go from silos to a fully integrated ecosystem of mobility which offers end-to-end solutions, triggered by the customers’ needs”
“At Brussels Airport, we believe that connections are essential. They are the source of new opportunities for people and businesses. Our role as an intermodal hub is an excellent example. By aligning all transport modes, we actively increase accessibility and attract foreign companies as a consequence. As it is important to further develop this role, we are proud as the leading airport in Belgium to innovate alongside partners within the ecosystem, so that together, we contribute to smarter mobility in our country.”
“As the leading bank in Belgium, we’re determined to play a key role in finding solutions beyond banking to key societal challenges such as mobility, and to make life easier for our customers. It goes without saying that as first shareholder of Co.Station, we are contributing our expertise towards the development of the open innovation ecosystem Co.Mobility. I welcome the many partners in this ambitious endeavour to build a more sustainable society together.”
