GB infraVelo

What GB infraVelo does

GB infraVelo GmbH is a 100% state-owned cycling infrastructure developer headquartered in Berlin, established in 2017 under the 2018 Berlin Mobility Act (Berliner Mobilitätsgesetz) to coordinate, plan, and deliver cycling infrastructure for the State of Berlin. Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grün Berlin GmbH, the company receives project mandates and budgets from the Berlin Senate Administration for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and Environment (SenMVKU) and coordinates with Berlin's 12 districts, Deutsche Bahn, and BVG to execute projects. The portfolio spans 432 tracked projects, including 60 directly managed by infraVelo, with active construction of five high-capacity Fahrradparkhäuser, nine planned Radschnellverbindungen, and 1,100+ new bicycle parking spaces planned at Schöneweide alone. The company is also extending its operating model beyond Berlin via a VBB-RadPark at Werder (Havel) under a regional rail partnership.

The company's core technology stack is centered on operational tooling rather than software-as-a-product: a Berlin-wide project database with public API, an interactive project map consolidating infraVelo, Senate, and district data, automatic bicycle counting stations with public displays (Fahrradbarometer), a Berlin-wide route signage system (Radwegweisung), and the ParkYourBike booking, access, and billing system for secured bicycle parking. Proprietary infrastructure methods include the use of two-component epoxy resin green coatings for optical separation of cycling lanes, with SRT slip-resistance monitoring. Supporting location and potential analyses cover 275 S-Bahn, U-Bahn, and regional rail stations, identifying 113 stations requiring medium-sized and 16 stations requiring large bicycle parking facilities to meet 2030 demand.

The revenue model is fully public-sector: infraVelo does not sell products or services commercially and does not disclose pricing. All funding flows from Land Berlin budgets allocated through the Senate, with revenue mechanics closer to managed services / government project funding than to a commercial SaaS or product business. Customer concentration is structurally maximal — a single mandate-giver (SenMVKU) and a 12-district coordination layer — making the entity less exposed to commercial churn and more exposed to political and budgetary continuity risk.
