NVBW

NVBW is the state-owned regional public transport company for Baden-Württemberg. It operates on behalf of the state transport ministry and combines public-service functions across transport planning, appraisal of eligible public transport investments, project support, statewide communication, and digital mobility data infrastructure. Its core digital assets include MobiData BW and NVBW Open Data, which aggregate and publish transport datasets for developers, authorities, researchers, and mobility service providers, alongside public-facing communication brands such as bwegt and MOVERS. The company does not operate as a conventional commercial software vendor. It is funded primarily through public budgets and creates value by improving transport coordination, supporting funding decisions, enabling third-party innovation through open APIs and datasets, and increasing public transport adoption across Baden-Württemberg. Its direct customers and stakeholders are government bodies, transport authorities, transport operators, developers, and mobility ecosystem partners, while some of its communication platforms also serve the general public.
