Inspire - corporate
We help your business grow while we discover the future of the mobility industry together
What is Talgo Inspire?
Talgo Inspire is Talgo's Corporate Venturing unit. Our mission is to create and develop projects in collaboration with startups around the world under the venture client model. This way we work on building agreements with startups with which we share an innovative vision of a sustainable, responsible, and technologically advanced future in the mobility industry.
At Talgo Inspire, we offer you our expertise and our assets to work together for the benefit of clean transport as well as for the present and future of mobility.
We aim to be a booster of innovation in the railway sector. Therefore, we seek to find and work with those startups that have designed disruptive technologies which could improve our products or processes since we want to become the bridge that connects these pioneering ideas with the railway sector, providing opportunities for growth and global expansion.
We have a clear, agile, and efficient process and we are looking for partners with whom we can challenge convention and reinvent the way we move.
Talgo Inspire is an open door to collaboration and co-creation towards the future of mobility and the railway industry, a sector that is set to become the backbone of mobility in the coming years due to the strong involvement of governments around the world in reducing emissions and enlarging sustainability. In this sense, Talgo, thanks to its light trains and its constant technological reinvention, has become the international reference in the manufacturing of railway rolling stock.
