City of Boca Raton, Guident, and Circuit

 To Launch Autonomous Shuttle Service

 

Tekcapital Plc (AIM: TEK) the UK intellectual property investment group
focused on creating valuable products that can improve people's lives, is
pleased to announce that the City of Boca Raton, in partnership with Circuit
Transit, Inc. and Tekcapital's portfolio company Guident Corp, is preparing to
launch MiCa, the city's first autonomous shuttle service, connecting residents
and visitors within Mizner Park through a sustainable, technology-driven loop.

 

 

The official launch event will take place at 4:00 PM, Friday, November 21,
2025, at Mizner Park. Boca Raton officials, community leaders, and executives
from Circuit and Guident will gather to mark a new chapter in Boca Raton's
commitment to safe, accessible, and future-ready transportation.

 

Harald Braun, Chairman and CEO of Guident said:

"This launch marks a defining moment for Boca Raton and for the future of
driverless mobility. The MiCa is managed by Guident's RMCC platform, which
bridges technology and human judgment, ensuring that every autonomous journey
is monitored, secure, and safe."

 

Alex Esposito, CEO and Co-Founder of Circuit said:

"MiCa builds on Circuit's transportation services in Boca Raton. Partnering
with Guident to introduce an autonomous service in Boca is about continuing to
innovate while giving the community a safe, seamless way to get where they
need to go."

 

City of Boca Raton Council Member Yvette Drucker said:

"With MiCa, we're not just introducing autonomous technology, we're building a
model of how cities, partners, and technology providers can create safer and
smarter transportation together."

 

The Power Behind the MiCa Shuttle: Guident's RMCC Platform

Guident's RMCC platform powers safe, connected, and intelligent monitoring

city-scale intelligence network - giving operators, municipalities, and
partners the tools to make mobility safer, smarter, and more efficient.

Raton and Circuit to expand route capabilities and enhance oversight
