SIPD-M joins the StartTIC innovation ecosystem in Vigo

The project enters the first edition of StartTIC, strengthening the path from technical validation toward company building and city-based validation.

A new development environment

SIPD-M has joined the first edition of StartTIC, the High Technology Incubator for innovative ICT projects promoted in Vigo. The programme’s Welcome Day took place on 9 September 2026.

StartTIC creates a structured environment around technology, business development, financing and access to specialised capabilities. For SIPD-M, that means working on the transition from advanced technical validation toward a company structure capable of supporting city-based validation and future deployment.

Technology first, company in parallel

SIPD-M enters the programme as a technology in development, not as a finished commercial product. The current priority remains technical: strengthen the simulation and evaluation architecture, test the network perspective under controlled conditions and prepare a reproducible validation model for cities.

In parallel, SCT Mobility Systems is being structured around the technology so that future pilots, partnerships, financing and intellectual-property arrangements can be managed through a clear operating framework.

From simulation toward cities

The next development stage is centred on representative urban environments and real data. The current City Validation model is designed to begin without changing live traffic: observe, recreate, simulate and compare before any intervention is considered.

StartTIC adds an innovation ecosystem around that technical path, helping connect engineering work with the practical requirements of building a scalable mobility company.
