EIT Urban Mobility and the EU ecosystem

Connecting policy, innovation, and impact to turn Europe’s mobility ambitions into action.

By working closely with the EU institutions and ecosystem, EIT Urban Mobility ensures the perspectives of cities, innovators, and startups are reflected in policies.

With a strong presence in Brussels, we engage EU institutions, monitor legislation, and advocate for sustainable mobility policies. Through partnerships with other organisations in the EU sector, and strategic guidance from our partners and ecosystem, we help shape funding programmes and regulations that drive urban mobility forward.

Members of the expert group on urban mobility

EIT Urban Mobility is proud to be a member of the European Commission’s Expert Group on Urban Mobility (EGUM). This group brings together Member States, cities, research organizations, and industry to support the EU Urban Mobility Framework. We advise the European Commission, exchange best practices, and align policies with the Green Deal, TEN-T regulation, and the EU mission for climate-neutral, smart cities. Our participation ensures that the voice of innovation is heard at the highest policy level.

Our manifesto for competitive and sustainable urban mobility in the EU outlines recommendations:

  • Support local innovation, SMEs, and startups
  • Strengthen skills and ecosystem cohesion
  • Enable a fair, green mobility transition through funding, collaboration, and
    streamlined rules

Driving impact across EU policies

Through expert groups, consultations, and collaborative initiatives, we turn policy into real-world action. Our community’s voices help shape frameworks like the EU Urban Mobility Framework and initiatives that make cities more liveable, sustainable, and competitive.

3 questions to...

For many, the EU can seem far away and complex when it comes to mobility policy. That’s why we asked three simple questions to the people behind the decisions—the “voices in Brussels” who work every year to shape and support the future of mobility.
