CIVITAS Forum

What an amazing time we had over the past few days at the CIVITAS Forum, in the beautiful city of #Parma.

As one of the places with the highest density of sustainable mobility experts & enthusiasts, public sector representatives and solution providers, the CIVITAS Forum proves that sustainable mobility and sustainable cities are not only possible, but an ever more present reality.

And what better way to end it that a panel discussing the 8 pillars of the European Commission's European Declaration on Cycling and how these priorities can be translated into clear, actionable steps. Thank you Isabelle Vandoorne, Mirjam Borsboom, Gianluca Borghi, Jill Warren, and Massimo Panzeri for sharing your experience with us and thank you Andreas G. Piller and the entire CIVITAS Initiative team for making it possible.

Last, but not the least, something to keep in mind is the audience's response when asked what should be prioritised in order to improve cycling in our cities. And the clear winning answer is Infrastructure. Also worth mentioning that infrastructure does not only mean bike lanes, but also complementary facilities, such as secure bike parking, charging & repair stations, all of which need to come together in a coherent network.

At Rastel.io we are more than eager to do our part and help cities and organizations make sustainble mobilty a reality.

We gear up for a double international presence these days!

Our co-founders, Tudor-Vlad Beleuţă and Horea Toniuc are representing Rastel.io at two key events on mobility and transportation in parallel:

📍European Mobility Expo in Strasbourg - a premier event for urban mobility innovation.
📍CIVITAS Initiative Forum 2024 in Parma - a renowned platform driving sustainable urban mobility solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to connect with global leaders, explore cutting-edge innovations, and share our vision for the future of secure and smart mobility. We’re thrilled to engage with both communities at the forefront of transforming transportation.

Let’s drive the future, together! 💡

A talk with Romania Insider

Networking & Social Night, by Transilvania IT Cluster & ABC Incubator - July edition

In an atmosphere full of enthusiasm and energy, the fifth edition of Networking & Social Night took place, organized by the Transilvania IT Cluster team in partnership with ABC Incubator. The event brought together our community once again: technology enthusiasts, innovators, and entrepreneurs from the IT industry, to share ideas and discover interesting projects.

The most anticipated moment, as usual, was the pitch presentations. This time there were four of them, all in the field of mobility, and two of the representatives came all the way from Oradea to present their ideas. The startups Dash, Tech Aid, Tranzy.ai, and Rastel.io shared their innovative projects, capable of making a significant contribution to the development of sustainable and efficient mobility.

Meet the 12 start-ups that won the 2023 RAPTOR competition!

Rapid environmental changes are impacting our cities and require rapid and innovative actions. The Rapid Applications for Transport (RAPTOR) Programme seeks to do so via its agile competition. The RAPTOR competition matches European cities facing urban mobility challenges with start-ups with innovative mobility solutions. While each of the city challenges and proposed solutions are different, the common theme woven throughout is the urgency of the transition to more sustainable transport.

Pilot project in Oradea - secure parking system for bicycles
