Why participate?
If you have a product or service that can benefit Transport for Wales processes, or improve passenger experience, we’d love to hear from you.
Participants will collaborate with mentors across the innovation sector and Transport for Wales. This expertise will help your start up refine and develop a product fit-for-purpose for the rail industry, and then make a pitch to decision makers from Transport for Wales.
Successful pitches will be awarded a contract of work, to fund the remainder of the project and produce a product or service that has real world impact across Transport for Wales.
