Long version

NEAR is a Spanish freight matching platform that eliminates empty truck trips. It connects carriers with spare capacity and shippers who need to move goods in the same direction, in real time, using artificial intelligence to optimise return routes. Its AI copilot, MIRA, cross-references routes, capacity and schedules to match each load, while payments are held in escrow with Stripe. Founded in 2024 in Barcelona, NEAR is backed by Google for Startups and NVIDIA Inception.
