CASABLANCA, Morocco, December 10, 2024 – Enakl, an innovative urban mobility startup, addresses a critical need in Africa’s urban centers where public transportation remains overcrowded, unreliable and expensive. The platform connects commuters with local transport providers through a pre-booked, subscription-based model. By optimizing fleet operations and reducing costs, Enakl ensures accessible transportation options for businesses and individuals alike.
“Our mission is to make quality and affordable transport accessible to everyone,” said Charles Pommarede, co-founder and CEO of Enakl. “This investment from Renew Capital will help us scale our model, improve our technology and expand into new markets. We are excited to continue solving mobility challenges while empowering local drivers and operators.”
Enakl’s traction underscores its potential for long-term impact. In just under a year, the company has achieved a 20% monthly growth rate in bookings and revenue, with more than 15,000 bookings per month and contracts with leading corporations such as Carrefour and Sitel. The platform has also tripled its operated routes, meeting the rising demand for cost-effective, sustainable transit solutions.
“I am proud of the Enakl team,” said Nihal GRII, investment manager at Renew Capital. “The solution they offer is appropriate for Morocco and many African cities where quality and affordable transportation is still a challenge. Their innovative approach, paired with their commitment to sustainability and accessibility, positions the company to be a leader in the mobility sector.”
With the investment from Renew Capital, Enakl plans to accelerate its expansion plans, which include growing its fleet, optimizing its AI-powered routing system and diversifying its driver base by onboarding more women.
