Our accelerator programs

In order to participate in the evolution of the mobility industry and its transition to a more sustainable future, Via ID has contributed to the creation of 2 accelerator programs recognized at the European level:

Moove Lab

Co-founded in 2017 in partnership with Mobilians (an employers’ organization, founded in 1902, to defend the interests of companies in the automotive distribution and services sector in France), the Moove Lab is the only accelerator program dedicated to mobility at Station F.

Its objective? Accelerate, for a period of 6 months, the best startups in mobility and automotive by providing them with expertise and access to powerful networks.

The program is for innovative mobility startups looking for expertise, support, partners, customers and financing. They will be able to benefit from a program allowing them to progress on 3 key subjects:

  • Business development & partnerships
  • Financing & fundraising
  • Offer & business model

The Moove Lab supports two batches each year. If you’re interested, you can already contact us and visit the dedicated page.

Our partnership with the Moove Lab is highly valuable. As a sponsor, BMW Group France brings its vision and innovative strength to the very dynamic mobility startups in France. The Moove Lab, in turn, contributes just as much by unveiling—sometimes even challenging us with—promising future solutions in digitalization and decarbonized mobility.
