Scouting and outreach activities for RAPTOR '26

By the present procurement procedure, the EIT KIC Urban Mobility S.L., hereby being referred to as “the EIT UM” or as “EIT UM”, is aiming to procure scouting and outreach activities, hereby being referred to as “the provider”, to identify potential solution providers for fifteen urban mobility challenges which have been identified in collaboration with the cities participating in the RAPTOR programme 2026.

RAPTOR Open Call context  

Rapid Applications for Transport (RAPTOR) is the challenge-based, city-driven agile innovation programme created and managed by EIT UM. The RAPTOR programme takes the urban mobility challenges of cities and runs a competition to find the best solutions from start-ups/SMEs and then supports a period of solution development which results in an in-situ demonstration. The defining feature of RAPTOR is its agility – cities and start-ups/SMEs in the programme work collaboratively, communicatively, and swiftly to bring about and to test either a new or improved/customised product or service.

The selected tenderer will be requested to compile a list of innovative European-based start-ups/SMEs with suitable technical solutions for each of the fifteen (15) predefined city challenges. Required data points to be included in the list are company name, founding year, website link, HQ geography, short description of the kind of solution provided, and the contact information of the CEO, CFO, CIO, or any other relevant executive role, including name, position, email, and LinkedIn profile link. 

The selected tenderer will also be requested to conduct outreach on behalf of EIT UM, notifying the start-up contact of relevant opportunities with the RAPTOR 2026 programme, and respond to basic queries regarding the RAPTOR programme.
