Omio, a global multimodal travel booking platform connecting rail, bus, flight and ferry options, secured a $10 million strategic investment from Granite-Integral to accelerate expansion in Japan and strengthen operations across Southeast Asia. The partnership combines Omio’s travel technology with Granite-Integral’s expertise and investment network across Asian travel and technology markets.
Expanding Travel Connections in Japan
The investment will support expansion of Omio’s transport network, local partnerships, customer offering and regional teams in Japan and the AI-focused technology hub in Singapore. Following a recent Japan launch, Omio has recorded demand across major routes and remote destinations while expanding partnerships with operators including Japan Railways and Willer Express.
Naren Shaam, Founder and CEO of Omio, said: “Japan is one of the most exciting travel markets in the world today. Millions of travellers visit every year, but planning journeys across different operators and transport modes can still be complex, particularly beyond the major cities. With Granite-Integral’s unparalleled regional expertise, we intend to accelerate a new era of connected travel in Japan, expand our presence across Southeast Asia and continue building a more connected future for travel across Asia.”
Scaling Across Southeast Asia
Omio currently provides bookable transport across 48 countries and plans to expand into more than 70 markets by 2028. Japan and Southeast Asia remain key markets in the global growth strategy as demand for connected, multimodal travel continues to increase.
CK Choun, Co-Head of Granite-Integral said: “Japan and South East Asia represent some of the most important long-term opportunities in global travel, with growing demand for more connected journeys across the region. Omio has built a highly differentiated multimodal platform with the technology and transport network needed to simplify increasingly fragmented travel experiences. We’re excited to support the company as it continues expanding across Asia.”
