We´re excited to announce the eleven new projects awarded under the SME Market Expansion Call 2026, welcoming a new cohort of innovative SMEs to the EIT Urban Mobility community.
The call is designed to promote business growth and market expansion, encouraging the replication and scaling of successful solutions in new regions or sectors. As part of the Agile Innovation portfolio, these projects are designed to be fast-paced and impact-driven, with a duration of seven months and funding of EUR 60,000 per project.
The projects reflect a strong geographical reach, with SMEs and end clients spanning multiple regions across Europe and engaging with cities, public authorities, and private sector stakeholders. The selected projects address key urban mobility challenges, including mobility data management, public transport, urban logistics, electrification, and health-related mobility solutions.
Each project includes a real-life demonstration phase, where solutions are tested with end clients in operational environments for a minimum of two weeks, ensuring practical validation and testing market readiness.
