This milestone establishes Swvl's software platform as a globally exportable solution for mobility digitization and workforce mobility

The new contract supports Swvl's strategy of expanding its footprint across high-revenue and margin growth markets

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swvl Holdings Corp ("Swvl" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SWVL), a leading global provider of technology-enabled mobility solutions for enterprises and governments, today announced it has signed its first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) contract in the United Kingdom (UK). The agreement marks Swvl's entry into the European market and represents a significant step in the Company's ongoing global SaaS rollout.

This UK-based contract introduces Swvl's proprietary mobility management platform to a new market, enabling enterprise clients to digitize operations, monitor fleets in real-time, and optimize route planning. We believe this reflects growing demand for technology-first mobility solutions in mature transport markets and demonstrates the adaptability of Swvl's platform to regulatory and operational requirements across markets.

The rollout in the UK aims to solve what we believe is a major pain point faced by corporations, warehouses, universities, and schools where they face fragmented and inefficient commute operations. Swvl's SaaS platform addresses these with an end-to-end digitization stack comprised of a Rider App, Driver App and Client Portal, which forms a robust toolkit for organizations to move from manual scheduling and fragmented communication, to data driven, cost effective and sustainable commute operations.

Mostafa Kandil, CEO of Swvl, commented: "In our view, this is more than just a contract, it is a validation of our platform's global relevance. We believe that signing our first SaaS contract in the UK affirms the scalability of Swvl's technology and our ability to serve clients anywhere in the world. Europe represents a strategic growth corridor for us, and we believe that this milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter in Swvl's expansion story."
