On September 4th, 2025, Antin Infrastructure Partners, a leading private equity firm focused on infrastructure, and Matawan, a leading smart mobility platform offering mission critical services to public transport networks, entered into exclusive negotiations for a majority investment.
Rationale
Founded in 2012, Matawan offers an end-to-end mobility platform that breaks the silos in public transit. Its cloud-based solutions serve as the infrastructure backbone of modern transportation systems enabling its essential functions. Matawan simplifies the usage of public transport networks across modes (bus, tram, rail, bike, ferry etc) via account-based ticketing, optimises supply and demand via Artificial Intelligence and provides travellers and operators with reliable information and quality of service.
Matawan today serves more than 330 transport networks across six countries in Europe and North America. It plans to continue growing its business both organically and through acquisitions, while entering new geographies.
Antin’s NextGen Fund I would be investing in Matawan alongside founder Jean-Paul Medioni, who would have a seat on the company’s Supervisory Board, CEO Jérome Trédan and its management team.
Upon closing, this investment would be the seventh by Antin’s €1.2 billion NextGen Infrastructure Fund I. NextGen invests in companies with proven business models and technologies that require substantial capital to scale to become the next generation of infrastructure, often with a strong focus on sustainability.
