Urban Innovate helps cities enhance transportation services with practical solutions and global expertise in autonomous technology.
Urban Innovate is an independent consultancy led by Dr. Henriette Cornet. We help public-sector leaders and mobility providers turn automated-mobility ambition into credible strategy, effective deployment and useful evidence.
Drawing on experience across industry, public transport, academia and major deployments in Europe, Asia and the United States, we bring the right expertise together for each assignment.
We help cities, public agencies and mobility providers make informed decisions throughout the journey, from preparing a strategy to evaluating deployment and understanding public response.
pulsur turns public online conversations into structured insight on how people think, feel and behave around mobility. It helps decision-makers identify concerns, expectations and adoption barriers that conventional consultation can miss.
