Why planting urban trees is so complicated – the "Spaghetti Subsurface Problem"
Planting trees in cities is complicated because there is a dense network of pipes and structural obstacles under the streets, and trees also need a lot of root space, which is hardly available in urban areas. Above ground, too, various uses compete for limited space, which is why many stakeholders need to be involved and expensive, lengthy planning is necessary. MobiGa systems offer a fast, flexible, and often the only alternative here, as they allow for more greenery immediately without any construction work and are easy to relocate.
Everything is interconnected: Sustainability in a Circular Economy
At MobiGa, sustainability does not begin with use, but rather with the initial materials. Wood, steel, substrates, and textiles are selected for their durability and ability to be recycled in closed loops. Even after use, residual materials are utilized to create new systems and ideas.
Why we need to create more green spaces now
The climate crisis is hitting our cities with full force—heat waves and sealed surfaces are turning them into dangerous living spaces. An international study shows that more green spaces could prevent a third of heat-related deaths. MobiGa offers immediately effective solutions for this—mobile, cooling plant islands for any urban space. Because green spaces are not only beautiful, they are vital.
Koblenz inspires: Green oases in the focus of citizens, young people, and politics
Three months full of greenery, encounters, and inspiration: our mobile vertical gardens transformed the courtyard of the historic town hall in Koblenz into a green oasis. A survey shows the enthusiasm of citizens, while young people and Minister President Alexander Schweitzer also experienced the new retreats firsthand.
Innovations against heat stress: MobiGa and urban projects
More and more cities are implementing sustainable measures to combat climate change. Projects such as climate oases in Jena and summer streets in Munich are improving the urban climate.
MobiGa supports this with mobile vertical gardens that reduce heat islands and offer refreshing oases of calm. These solar-powered systems can be implemented quickly and are already being used successfully in cities such as Koblenz and Stuttgart.

Promoting urban wild bee diversity with MobiGa
Promote our native biodiversity with a nesting aid for wild bees. Every tenth wild bee species in Europe is threatened with extinction. Nesting aids are also ideal for educational projects, as there are hardly any wild bees, especially in urban areas. That is why almost all of our MobiGa systems can be equipped with a nesting aid for wild bees.
MobiGa relies on Kebony wood
Kebony wood has become increasingly important in architecture and urban planning in recent years. We explain why we at MobiGa work with Kebony, why the wood is a good choice for cities and communities, and how it helps to beautify our urban spaces and make them sustainable in the long term.
MobiGa UG wins the SUCCESS 2023 competition organized by ISB Rhineland-Palatinate
At this year's SUCCESS awards ceremony held by Investitions- und Strukturbank Rheinland-Pfalz (ISB), MobiGa UG won second place as a successful innovative company with its mobile vertical gardens.
Under the motto "SUCCESS – Ahead through Innovation," the Investment and Structure Bank of Rhineland-Palatinate (ISB), together with the Ministry of Economics, Transport, Agriculture, and Viticulture, honors particularly innovative and already commercially successful products, processes, or technology-oriented services and sophisticated IT projects in Rhineland-Palatinate. The award ceremony took place on October 9, 2023, during a festive event in Mainz attended by high-ranking representatives from business and politics. This highly endowed prize is a special honor for the young company.
Mobile high-pressure spray mist for cooling the air on hot days
For hot summer days, MobiGa systems with high-pressure misting have a special feature. Special nozzles on the MobiGa system atomize water at a pressure of up to 70 bar. The evaporation of the spray mist creates a cooling effect of up to 12°.
The high-pressure misting module will be available for the T and SP models from 2024. Ideal for city festivals or for longer periods of cooling in pedestrian zones and squares during hot summer weeks.

Göppingen: Four MobiGa systems on the station forecourt
Four of our MobiGa systems have been on display on the station forecourt in Göppingen for six weeks now. The space has been transformed into an attractive oasis of well-being where you can discover unusual plants. Why not drop by and take a look?
MobiGa is at BUGA23 in Mannheim
The first MobiGa system is on display at the Federal Horticultural Show in Mannheim!
The gates open on Friday. When your feet get tired, this is a great place to relax. The fully self-sufficient and mobile vertical garden is home to many wild perennials and will soon be home to wild bees too.
From research project to startup!
From project idea to start-up! After more than four years of research and development, we have now founded our company, MobiGa.
MobiGa – the research and development project has been successfully completed
Over three years, or more than 10,000 hours of intensive research and development work, have come to an end!
How can overheated areas in city centers be made more livable again using innovative and climate-adapted greening techniques? That was one of the key questions we addressed in this project. Together with two companies, a university, and numerous partners, we developed and scientifically tested a number of prototypes. The result: mobile vertical gardens!
