In today's urbanized world, transportation networks are under growing strain from disruptive mobility concepts and rapid urbanization. The existing methods of real-time monitoring and infrastructure testing, relying on traditional data collection and complex engineering, have become cumbersome and cannot properly support the needs of planners and decision-makers. By harnessing the power of big data, cloud computing, machine learning, simulation, and automation, Transcality has created digital transportation twins which provide affordable, up-to-date, and highly adaptable products and services that seamlessly integrate into flexible transportation planning.

The global transportation analytics market is estimated at USD 13 billion and is expected to exceed USD 28 billion by 2026. Over the next two years, Transcality’s primary objective is to advance its software-as-a-service digital twin products to support public authorities at all levels as well as private infrastructure operators and engineering firms in the planning and operation of modern transportation systems. Transcality’s key milestones include raising significant seed financing in Q1/2024 to complete the development of its web-based planning tool. This ambitious objective reflects its commitment to revolutionizing the planning and operation of transportation systems to encourage sustainable societies in the future.

Transcality will invest CHF 150,000 to develop and design an easy-to-use and intuitive interface between its digital twin and the customer. This will allow first experience and further tailoring of the products to the market requirements and will hence enable seed funding and consequently further growth of the ETH spin-off. 

The trio of Co-founders includes Co-CEOs Lukas Ambühl and Gabriel Tilg and CTO Sasan Amini. The entire team consists of seven people who are highly motivated to work on achieving Trancality’s mission.

“Venture Kick has been a great source of support, boosting our confidence and helping us to kickstart Transcality. They're strong advocates for Swiss innovation and their experienced team has made meaningful contributions to startups and the Swiss entrepreneurial community as a whole. We deeply appreciate the continuous support and insights they've shared with us,” stated Transcality’s team.
