New setup for our regional support

Since 2020, EIT Urban Mobility has benefited from a place-based support of different regional hubs across Europe, previously known as EIT RIS Hubs. From 2025 onwards, they are rebranded as EIT Urban Mobility Representatives in their respective countries. These appointed entities represent our KIC and their mission is to connect their local ecosystem to our programmes and partnership. EIT Urban Mobility has recently selected 10 Country Representatives, who will deliver activities to support our Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) strategy in the selected regions and countries in all fields of activity. These representatives will play a key role in enlarging the network, scouting and supporting new talents or startups, and deploying new mobility solutions. They will also help integrate potential new partners and stakeholders from their local innovation ecosystem in our EIT Urban Mobility activities. 

Get to know our urban mobility representatives

More than 20 entities compose the 10 RIS representative consortia that will support our mission across Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia, Cyprus & Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Malta, Romania, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, and Türkiye. At the same time, these entities are also partners of EIT Urban Mobility and have deep knowledge of our ecosystem. 

The EIT Urban Mobility Croatia Representative: 

Will cover both Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Slovenia. We are pleased to be working with  Invento Capital Partners as leaders of the consortia, supported by Fablab, that will cover Bosnia and Hercegovina, a RIS eligible country as of January 2025.  

The EIT Urban Mobility Greece Representative: 

In Greece we also have entities that previously have worked with us: Euroconsultants and CERTH, with the addition of Aethon Engineering, and together they will represent Greece and Cyprus. 

The EIT Urban Mobility Hungary Representative: 

Another well-known partner is Greenbrother, who will continue to be our appointed entity in Hungary, together with Őrhegyi Consulting. 

The EIT Urban Mobility Latvia Representative: 

Moving to the Baltics, in Latvia our representatives will remain: Vefresh and RTU will continue to be our counterparts. By the end of the year, we will also have an additional Country Representative in Lithuania. 

The EIT Urban Mobility Malta Representative: 

In Malta, the setup is also renewed: PAF will lead the representation, together again with MCAST and Valleta Design Cluster.  

The EIT Urban Mobility Poland Representative: 

In Poland we have a new consortia composed by Create Hub, Polish New Mobility Association (PSNM) and Cracow University of Technology. 

The EIT Urban Mobility Portugal Representative: 

 Our partner BGI will be the urban mobility representative for Portugal. 

The EIT Urban Mobility Romania Representative: 

In Romania Iceberg+ will continue to be our lead entity, together with a new partner: Activize.  

The EIT Urban Mobility Slovakia Representative: 

In Slovakia, the innovation advisory firm CIVITTA also continues as our representative,  

The EIT Urban Mobility Türkiye Representative: 

Farklabs and Sabanci University, will remain as our ambassadors in Türkiye. 

These country representatives will operate under the umbrella EIT Community Hubs. Since 2023, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology has been rolling out a framework to establish EIT Community Hubs across all EIT RIS eligible countries and territories (2021- 2024) by the end of 2025.  

What’s changed? 

These EIT Community Hubs, represented by an EIT Community Officer (ECO), differ from the EIT KIC Country Representatives, since they serve as a one-stop-shop for the entire EIT Community. The EIT Community Hubs provide local innovators with a centralised source of information on all services and opportunities provided by the entire EIT Community, locally. They are a shared resource that serves as a gateway to all EIT KICs, attracting and engaging an increasing number of participants into EIT Community activities and each KICs’ programmes. The Hubs will bring together all the KIC-related offices, including our Country RIS Representatives and National Contact Points (NCP) under one single innovation community. This way, EIT Urban Mobility also benefits from a place-based support in countries where we don’t have our own RIS Representative, like Albania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia or Ukraine.
