17 – 18 June 2025 in Brussels, Belgium at Brussels Expo 

EIT Urban Mobility booth, Hall 3, Level 1 

EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, will both attend and take part in key panels and judging sessions at Micromobility Europe this year. 

As Europe’s leading investor in European mobility startups, Micromobility Europe forms an important part of EIT Urban Mobility’s annual event calendar. From an investment perspective, such a focused event allows for not only scouting, but seeing what is happening in industry closeup. This allows EIT Urban Mobility to continue the trend already set in making highly impactful and increasingly bigger mobility investments.  

Looking ahead, EIT Urban Mobility are set to expand to making later-stage investments (Series A) to support more mature startups, in addition to continuing to support those in the early-stage. This means increasing investment tickets to €2 million for stronger backing while strengthening cross-border collaboration and pan-European projects. The goal of which is to build a long-term, network-powered vision for sustainable urban mobility in Europe.
