The Team - Citylinx

About the Citylinx team

Making City Operators Heroes

Cities and utilities are managing an increasing number of connected assets, data sources and operational systems. Our mission is to bring them together through a single platform that helps operators monitor, control and automate their daily activities. From intelligent streetlighting to broader smart city operations, we develop practical software designed around real operational needs.

Citylinx was created by a team of engineers who shared a common observation: cities investing in connected infrastructure were often trapped by vendor lock-in.

By combining deep expertise in software engineering, connectivity and urban operations, we created a platform capable of connecting equipment from multiple suppliers, transforming data into actionable insights and automating complex city workflows.

Our mission is to build technology that solves real-world operational challenges.
