By the present procurement procedure, the EIT KIC Urban Mobility S.L., hereby being referred to as “EIT UM”, is aiming to identify a supplier capable of designing and delivering a multiannual face to face (F2F) training course on the topic of ‘sustainable urban distribution of goods and cyclelogistics’ in Italy.

Urban freight logistics has economic, environmental and social impacts as cities are confronted with more traffic, congestion, noise and pollution. The objective of the course is to improve the capacity of practitioners and decision makers to design and implement sustainable urban development strategies, products and services for urban distribution of goods based on the concept of cyclelogistics in the context of Italian cities. The aim of the course is to equip the participants with skills, knowledge and tools to develop or adapt cyclelogistics solutions to the urban environment, including elements of operating a cyclelogistics business.

Course design and objectives

As per the previous chapter, the EIT UM is accepting proposals for the F2F course, which is synchronous, held either online (interactive digital workshop sessions), “on-site”, or in a blended format. The course must be replicable/scalable to be one of the components within the EIT Urban Mobility Competence Hub’s Financial Sustainability strategy, therefore the proposal is to present a detailed business and financial sustainability plan for 2023 (see details in 2.2.). 

The supplier will ensure the scope of the course will cover the decarbonisation, reliability, safety, and digitalisation of novel approaches to the urban freight which in this RFP refers to all movements of goods in to, out from, through or within the urban area made by light vehicles.

The supplier will ensure that the course raises awareness and supports development and creation of components of the cyclelogistics solutions system tailored to the context of cities in Italy, encompassing vehicles, infrastructure and services, as well as other elements for operation of a cyclelogistics business. It should also analyse the current situation on the supply side, including governance, infrastructure, and incentives in the given context. Moreover, the course should address digitalisation in urban distribution of goods, focusing on challenges such as how to digitalise the urban logistics supply chain supports, policymaking, and use of data to support business decisions.

Within the scope of this RFP, the supplier will ensure that the course is addressing the solutions in the context of Italian cities, Italian regional and national regulations.

Core to our mission is empowering women in STEM and business, both sectors with intense barriers to their participation. That’s why we support the theme of equity. We put that idea to action through programmes specially designed to uplift women forging innovation.

This 8 March, we’re using the opportunity presented to us by International Women’s Day to highlight why equity is important with a sneak peek of our latest study on women in innovation.

Women are an important source of talent that too often gets turned away from tech and business by both historical inequality and a culture that discourages them from joining. The latest study from Dealroom and Supernovas, an EIT Community initiative to support women business creators, gives us incredible input on how inclusivity unlocks new potential for innovation in Europe and what Europe needs to do to break down the barriers still in place.

Data that drives us forward

Studies already show that women’s perspectives are more important than ever to reduce the biases that are already creeping into future tech sectors like AI. Diversity at the top of a business boosts its financial success over time compared to competitors without that diversity.

That was proven in Dealroom and Supernovas’ latest study, which found that women-founded tech scale-ups in Europe increased their value 6.5x, growing 1.2x faster than the rest of scale-ups over the past five years.

Women have gained ground but still face a hostile playing field

Supernovas’ latest study found that the 2021-2022 period had seen the most venture capital investment in women-founded scale-ups with over USD 9 billion invested over those two years. European investors have been providing the largest share of VC capital for European scale-ups founded by women since 2020.

But there’s still a lot of work to be done to reach a more equitable gender balance. Out of over 7 000 European scale-ups, only 604 (8%) had at least one woman on their founding team. That’s why we continue to make women a central focus of our efforts.

Findings reveal benefits of women in leadership and the barriers to their success

• Women-founded businesses are significantly more likely to focus on sustainability, with nearly one in four women-led scale-ups working to fight climate change
• Women-founded businesses converted a higher percentage of rounds from Seed to Series A (funding during the early stages of their business growth) in a shorter period of time than the European benchmark, but are still disadvantaged in late-stage investment rounds
• There is an especially high growth of women founded scale-ups in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland — they grew 16.6x since 2017

The full Supernovas study will be published 16 May.

Within EIT Urban Mobility, cities are our driving force and enabler of faster adoption of innovation. 

To harness the wider city innovation capacity and ensure innovation closer to citizens, we developed a Rapid Application for Transport (RAPTOR) Pilot in 2020. This pilot helped 4 cities/towns identify niche mobility issues in specific locations with defined parameters and clear success criteria. Once these niche city mobility challenges were defined, a competition was launched for local innovators, teams, and start-ups to propose any solution as long as the original issue and outcomes were addressed. This provided space for lateral thinking beyond our own networks.  The initial pilot was extended to a total of 13 cities and 19 niche mobility challenges in 2022. 

Each city, supported by technical and business advisors, selected the most promising solution to receive an award, in-kind and cash, to advance the proposal to a Solution to be tested in the city within four months of award. For the Innovation Programme of EIT Urban Mobility, agile entrepreneurial innovation based on problem/challenges with rapid development timelines closer to citizens and in a named location, has the potential to become a powerful tool in our innovation agenda. 

RAPTOR, an agile innovation sub-project, is compatible with and complements our traditional larger scale projects funded in the Business Plan. Moreover, the internal competition in RAPTOR both promotes the wider urban mobility agenda and draws cutting edge innovators/ SMEs into our community. With the new edition of the RAPTOR programme in 2023, EIT Urban Mobility will select up to 12 Applicants from across Europe to develop solutions to niche mobility challenges. Existing documentation and lessons learned from RAPTOR 2022 will be key in ensuring an acceleration of innovation in cities, closer to citizens and closer to the innovation’s edge.  

We look forward to seeing exactly what our cities, partners, start-ups & SMEs can achieve under this successful agile innovation set-up.
