M-Five experts have developed a broad network of cooperations. Of particular importance is the cooperation with the two Institutions with which the development of the ASTRA model is jointly advanced:

TRT – Trasporti e Terrotorio srl.  based in Milan, Italy, is a research-oriented consulting company focusing on transport- and spatial-planning, transport modeling as well as infrastructure assessments for all modes of transport.

Fraunhofer Institute for Systems amd Innovation Research  like M-Five is based in Karlsruhe, Germany. ISI mission is to carry out applied research to analyse the emergence and impacts of innovations. At ISI the short- and medium-term developments of innovation processes and the societal impacts of new technologies and new services are investigated.

The Berlin Social Science Center is a non-university research institution in the field of social sciences. Founded in 1969, the institute is a member of the Leibniz-Association. With the WZB, M-Five publishes, among other things, the Mobility Monitor.
