A Moroccan-Senegalese mobility startup Weego is building a multimodal transport platform, has raised $1.1 million in funding from Azur Innovation Fund, an early-stage venture capital firm. The capital will help the company expand across Moroccan cities, strengthen its business-focused transport solutions, and prepare for growth into Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
Urban congestion remains one of the biggest economic challenges in Africa’s major cities. Casablanca, Morocco’s economic hub, ranks eighth among the continent’s most congested cities, according to Numbeo, which tracks commuting conditions and congestion worldwide. As Morocco works toward its 2030 development goals, transport efficiency is increasingly tied to economic competitiveness. Weego says it is building a digital infrastructure layer that connects existing transport networks, making them more predictable and easier to navigate.
“Transportation is the primary obstacle to economic activity in our cities,” said Saad Jittou, Weego’s co-founder and CEO. “By 2030, our metropolitan areas will have to manage unprecedented passenger flows. At Weego, we are building the technological layer that connects existing infrastructure to make it more efficient. This funding enables us to accelerate this vision in Morocco and begin our regional expansion.”
Founded in 2020 by Saad Jittou and Mor Niane, Weego operates at the intersection of public infrastructure and private mobility services. Its platform integrates buses, trams, taxis, and private transport services into a single interface, allowing users to plan and track trips in real time. Beyond serving individual commuters, the company also provides transport management solutions for businesses, aiming to simplify daily travel while improving operational efficiency.
“Weego’s approach addresses a critical need: the unification of transport modes,” said Adnane Filali, Managing Partner at Azur Innovation Fund. “By investing in this solution, we are supporting a Moroccan innovation capable of becoming a regional standard and meeting the modernization requirements of our African cities.”
With this funding, Weego aims to accelerate its vision of becoming a single digital gateway for public and private transport systems, positioning itself as a key player in the modernization of urban mobility across Morocco and beyond.
