MICLC
While cities in Europe strive to accelerate the shift towards cleaner transport, urban mobility sector operators, simultaneously, face many obstacles when deploying, testing, or scaling their products. Companies frequently lack a clear roadmap for deployment or required resources for product testing. In many European cities, the process from prototype to deployment and testing can take […]
LogiSmile – 2nd year
Deliveries in metropolitan areas will increase dramatically over the next few years. Last-mile logistics are becoming increasingly frequent and more fragmented, especially with the exponential growth of e-commerce. The negative impact of current urban-centre logistics practices includes increased traffic, safety issues for road users including cyclists, delivery vehicles and pedestrians, as well as the emission […]

The system enables fleet managers, site operators and other clients to set up intelligent charging strategies to optimise costs and increase clean energy use. PowerManagement will address the current bottlenecks and provide sustainable one-stop-shop […]
SELECTIVE
The decarbonisation of mobility is an urgent need of our society and, as the most extended solution currently being considered, the use of electric vehicles (EV) is expected to grow exponentially in the near future. This presents some challenges as current public charging infrastructure is insufficient to assume forecasted fleet growth and private chargers are […]
Implementation of Low Emissions
The implementation of Low Emission Zones (LEZs) has proven to be highly effective in reducing accidents, pollution, and other negative impacts caused by urban traffic. The forthcoming Climate Change and Energy Transition Law in Spain, set to be mandated during 2023, emphasises the importance of LEZs. This project builds upon a previously launched in-person course, […]

E+ Mobility Accelerator
E+ Mobility is an acceleration programme for top notch start-ups addressing the challenges the mobility industry is facing in the fields of energy and mobility, micromobility and shared mobility. It aims to support industry with the current technological revolution in the mobility industry. It does this in the following four ways:
Scale-up Programme
The Scale-up Programme will promote the proposed solutions of 12 mature European scale-ups, introduce them to different stakeholders (e.g. investors, industry, cities…), prepare them for fundraising and prospecting activities notably pitching in front of investors and industry reps, provide access to expert mentors, knowledge transfer and learning sessions and workshops, high level international events and […]
Energy and Public Realm Accelerator
The Energy and Public Realm Accelerator focuses on mobility- and energy-related activities that improve the public realm and citizen’s lives in European cities. By supporting start-ups working in the area of public realm, energy and mobility, the project aims to achieve a better design, use and management of public spaces through socially innovative, inclusive, environmentally […]
Better Mobility Accelerator
The Better Mobility Accelerator is an international six-month accelerator programme for startups that are ready to scale up internationally and access a unique network of international mobility, innovation and inclusivity experts across Europe. The programme offers one-to-one business coaching, mentoring, and workshops. It also offers city match-making to test your solution and facilitates an introduction […]
Accelerate2MOVE
Accelerate2MOVE is a thematic accelerator focusing on artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), Internet-of-Things connectivity and Web 3.0 – all advanced technologies that can contribute to sustainable urban mobility. Over three years, the accelerator will provide support to at least 36 early-stage companies with solutions that have been tested in a lab or have a […]
Smart Mobility Accelerator
Drive TLV (Israel), MobilityXlab (Sweden), and STARTUP AUTOBAHN powered by Plug and Play (Germany) have established a consortium partnership (known as DMS Consortium), with the goal of launching a Smart Mobility Accelerator for early-stage start-ups in the area of smart and sustainable mobility. The Smart Mobility Accelerator mission is to support and empower start-ups with […]
FlexCurb – second year
Cities need to make transport more reliable and sustainable. For example, double parking caused by delivery vehicles is one of the main negative impacts of the upturn in last-mile deliveries, generating conflicts with pedestrians, cyclists, public transport and emergency vehicles. Innovative measures are needed to help cities reduce congestion and trips; achieve sustainable mobility goals; […]
RideSafeUM – second year
RideSafeUM was born in 2022 to make micromobility safer, encourage increased ridership of what have become key modes for the future of our mobility systems, and collect data on micromobility trips and crashes as a great source to nurture decision-making. Using innovative technology, RideSafeUM brings micromobility safety benefits to users, public authorities, shared service operators […]
IMMENSE
IMMENSE proposes the creation of a Transport Demand Management (TDM) tool which is able to dynamically influence traffic demand on road and parking ecosystems depending on congestion levels. By using a dynamic rate system with game design elements or “gamification” (such as automatically rewarding users with points for reducing travel time along congested routes if […]
Digital Bus
Whilst urban centres enjoy an effective and seamless multimodal public transport system, for many peri-urban and rural areas public transport bus services remain the key form of transport providing mobility and connection to essential services such as education, employment, healthcare, fresh food and leisure – and transport hubs. In such areas with low population density, […]
IMAGINEXT
While urbanisation and populations in urban areas increase, decarbonising cities becomes a harder challenge. In this context, as an unprecedented amount of urban traffic pollutants are generated in cities, IMAGINEXT validates a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that utilises artificial intelligence (AI) to learn how specific mobility strategies and sustainable transport measures impact on […]
EV Charging From Lampposts
EV Charging From Lampposts will deploy and test electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations developed by the start-up SimpleCharge. These charging stations can be easily integrated into the infrastructure of street lampposts. The charging solution will be tested in several cities in Europe, focusing on providing electric vehicle charging solutions in residential areas where there are few […]
NEDAM
E-bikes over emerged as a comprehensive transport option to replace more motorised forms of transport because they are speedier and easier to ride than conventional bikes. However, it is not always the most comfortable or convenient option; for instance, standard e-bikes may not be the most suitable option for employee’s movement during working hours when […]
REACTIVITY
Globally, cities are grappling with growing challenges tied to air and noise pollution, as well as traffic congestion and accidents. Concurrently, a rising number of citizens are suffering from chronic illnessesassociated with unhealthy lifestyles. In this context, local authorities need to support the uptake of intermodal active mobility and need technological tools to simplify the […]
IMPACTS
Public transport is a crucial aspect of urban mobility, allowing people to commute, socialise, and explore their cities safely and cost-effectively. However, overcrowding, limited digitalisation, outdated reporting mechanisms and decreased perceived safety due to the pandemic, have discouraged its use. This has resulted in decreased use of public transport and missed opportunities for multimodal mobility, […]
sCOOL2walk
sCOOL2walk aims to get families walking to school. The project matches people together to share their walk to and from school. The benefits are many. Traffic congestion and pollution around schools is reduced and fewer vehicles also means safer streets. Families become more active and children gain a greater feeling of independence and awareness of […]
