What AEMES Smart does

AEMES Smart (legal name: AEMES SMART, Associació d'Empreses de Mobilitat i Entorn Sostenible) is a non-profit industry association headquartered in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain, founded in 2015 as SMART SPACE and rebranded to its current name in autumn 2021. It functions as a convening and ecosystem accelerator for companies operating across mobility, sustainable environment, and smart-solutions verticals — aggregating 180+ member companies that collectively represent more than 100,000 employees and over €10,000M in combined turnover. Its product surface is association-shaped rather than SaaS-shaped: the Moblab platform (smart-moblab.com) facilitates project collaboration and hosts the AEMES Smart Awards for Public Procurement with Impact; SmartVision Papers publishes technical research; the Bolsa de Trabajo AEMES operates as a green-skills talent portal; and a training portfolio (CSRD/ESRS course at €550 and Sustainable Transformation Diploma at €4,400, delivered with AENOR, DIRSE, and EY) generates course-fee revenue. Consulting services center on the Smart Polygon/Business District Model, an exportable methodology for smartification of industrial zones across connectivity, transport, safety, parking, waste, and cleaning.

The business model rests on three pillars: (1) association membership dues (contact-based, not publicly disclosed), (2) training program fees (€550–€4,400 per course with member discounts), and (3) event co-organization leverage through Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress with Fira de Barcelona and EIT Urban Mobility. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise via field membership sales, supplemented by LinkedIn, YouTube, and X (Twitter) for top-of-funnel visibility, plus industry-event participation and webinars for mid-funnel engagement. Strategic and institutional partners — ATM Barcelona, Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona, Fira de Barcelona, EIT Urban Mobility, CEOE, and AENOR — provide legitimacy and convening power rather than revenue. The association is governed by an uncompensated Board of Directors (President J.M. Tarragó; Secretaria y Tesorera Neus Olea; Vicepresidencia Rosa Fiol) with vocales drawn from member companies including Wallbox, Floox, FCC, Factorenergia, and Eurecat.

Regional players

• Barcelona Regional: Barcelona-based urban and strategic planning agency focused on metropolitan development, mobility, and sustainability. A regional peer that overlaps with AEMES Smart's smart-polygon, urban mobility, and metropolitan-sustainability agenda in the same Catalan market.

Broad incumbents

• UITP (International Association of Public Transport): Global association representing public transport authorities, operators, and industry. A broader incumbent to AEMES Smart that overlaps on urban mobility and sustainable transport, but operates at global rather than regional scale and with much deeper resources.
• C40 Cities: Global network of cities committed to climate action, including sustainable mobility and urban transformation. Overlaps with AEMES Smart's sustainable-mobility and smart-district mandate, but operates globally and focuses on city governments rather than industry members.
• Eurocities: Network of major European cities working on urban policy including mobility, sustainability, and digital transition. A broader incumbent to AEMES Smart that overlaps on smart-city and public-private collaboration themes but focuses on municipal members rather than companies.

Direct peers

• ERTICO – ITS Europe: Public-private partnership focused on Intelligent Transport Systems and cooperative mobility in Europe. Comparable to AEMES Smart in connecting public authorities and private mobility-tech companies around smart infrastructure and sustainable transport.
• Smart City Association: Industry association advancing smart-city solutions, IoT, and sustainable urban services. Closely aligned with AEMES Smart's smart-district, EV-charging, and connected-infrastructure portfolio.
• SolarPower Europe: European trade association for the solar energy value chain. Comparable to AEMES Smart as an industry association representing clean-energy and energy-transition members with lobbying, training, and event programs.
• POLIS Network: European network of cities and regions working on innovative transport and mobility solutions. Comparable to AEMES Smart in convening public-private stakeholders around urban mobility, smart cities, and sustainable transport policy.
• EIT Urban Mobility: EU-backed initiative accelerating sustainable urban mobility innovation. Directly comparable to AEMES Smart: both convene mobility and sustainability companies, run collaborative platforms, and co-organize industry events such as Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress.

Emerging players

• Hydrogen Europe: European hydrogen industry association representing producers, technology providers, and end users. Comparable to AEMES Smart's hydrogen-adjacent member ecosystem (Lhyfe) and energy-transition mission, though with a single-technology focus.
