Agora Makers, the French leader in public lighting, partners with greentech company mube to launch a range of smart, plant-based lighting fixtures

In the wake of the municipal elections, as the ecological transition becomes a priority for town halls, mube, a pioneering French start-up in intelligent green masts, and the AGORA-MAKERS Group, the French leader in public lighting and street furniture, announce the signing of a strategic partnership for the launch of a range of green masts in 2026.

This unprecedented industrial alliance combines mube's innovation with the industrial capacity and historical expertise of the AGORA MAKERS Group brands in order to deploy urban green infrastructure on a larger scale.

An industrial alliance "made in France" with an international focus

With nearly 12 million light points in 2023*, public lighting constitutes one of the main urban infrastructures of local authorities in France.

As part of this partnership, the brands of the AGORA MAKERS Group (GHM, ECLATEC, METALCO, BELLITALIA, CITYDESIGN, MY EQUILIBRIA, NEXIODE, ORANGE LIGHTING) will manufacture and distribute the mube intelligent green masts, for development projects (lighting and street furniture), in France and internationally.

Already deployed in several urban projects, mube solutions are taking a new step in development with this partnership.

For AGORA MAKERS, this partnership enriches its offering with an innovative solution that meets the growing expectations of communities in terms of urban greening and biodiversity.

A shared vision for the green and technological city of tomorrow

Each column provides concrete environmental benefits: up to 50 kg of CO2 absorbed per year and up to 70% water savings thanks to a patented and remotely controllable irrigation system, while promoting the return of urban biodiversity.

For AGORA MAKERS, this partnership is part of a logic of innovation and environmental responsibility.

According to David Lelièvre, President of AGORA MAKERS: “This partnership reflects the spirit of innovation that has characterized the Group since its inception. Today, it is essential to provide solutions that equip cities and offer concrete and scalable responses to the challenges of urban regeneration and climate change.”

According to Frédéric de Mont-Serrat, co-founder of mube: “We are delighted with this partnership with a major player like AGORA MAKERS, which will allow us to promote smart, green street furniture to a greater number of cities in France and internationally.”

Through this partnership, mube and AGORA MAKERS are combining their expertise and paving the way for a new generation of green infrastructure, capable of reconciling urban facilities, nature and technology, in service of a more resilient and more pleasant city to live in.
