Transforming urban infrastructure with energy, data, and award-winning design 

Pavegen, the global leader in kinetic energy and smart city engagement technology, is proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with mmcité, one of the world’s most respected names in street furniture and public space design. This partnership marks a pivotal step in Pavegen’s North American expansion - aligning two visionary brands to reimagine the role of public space in cities of the future. 

With an established reputation among landscape architects, planners, and developers across the US and Canada, mmcité is known for turning functional infrastructure into beautiful, meaningful public assets - from benches and shelters to bike racks, bins, and transport hubs. Their commitment to design integrity and innovation has helped shape iconic spaces around the world. 

Together, we will now integrate Pavegen’s kinetic energy and Solar+ platform into mmcité’s product range - combining human movement and solar power to create energy-autonomous street furniture. From USB charging benches and illuminated bollards to decorative LEDs and interactive lighting features, we are building a new class of street furniture that is not just sustainable but engaging. Every step, every ray of sunlight becomes part of a visible story - powering clean energy, delivering real-time data, and enabling ESG-driven urban design. 

“This is about changing the face of the city, one smart bench, one kinetic bollard, one step at a time.” 
— Laurence Kemball-Cook, Founder & CEO, Pavegen 

This MOU is part of Pavegen’s Global Partner Programme and reflects our commitment to scaling through aligned, trusted collaborators. With mmcité’s embedded sales teams, agents, and strong marketing presence across North America, we are co-creating a smart, desirable proposition for architects, specifiers, and smart infrastructure developers throughout the region. 

For investors, this is a high-conviction signal of market traction and strategic focus: 

• A gateway into the $4.7 trillion global smart city economy 

• Immediate access to North American infrastructure and urban planning networks 

• Expansion of Solar+ and kinetic product lines into functional, sellable street furniture 

• Stronger route-to-market via co-branded innovation and global partner alignment 

 

Cities are no longer passive. They must be responsive, regenerative, and human-first. With mmcité, we are putting that vision into practice, turning every footstep and every hour of sunlight into a force for smarter, cleaner, more beautiful urban living.
