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 help boosting market penetration for their disruptive urban mobility solution.

In addition, participants receive a €2,500 micro-grant to attend the programme’s events and a licence to evaluate their SDG impact.

The participants are expected to increase their enterprise value by widening their stakeholder’s networks, gaining market experience, honing their business skills and acumen, and by increasing their visibility and recognition across Europe for both customers, clients (be it industry or municipalities), partners and future employees.
