Accelerator programmes
Is your start-up helping to create liveable urban spaces? Become part of an EIT Urban Mobility Accelerator and get unique access to cities, mobility players and investors.

We are looking for early-stage startup-teams with business ideas that reduce congestion and increase efficiency in the transport system. With innovative approaches to make commuting faster or more enjoyable. With concepts to accelerate the transition to low- or zero-emission forms of transport – and with all other possible ideas that help to solve mobility-related problems.
