SME market expansion call

The SME Market Expansion Call, aims to support small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the development of new, or significantly improved, solutions for expansion into a new industry sector or geographic market. The call offers SMEs the opportunity to pilot their products or services with an end-client.

The SME Market Expansion Call contributes to our social impact goals of job creation and strengthens the European urban mobility sector. As SMEs typically struggle with the complexity of heavy procurement and compliance requirements, the call aims to overcome this hurdle by establishing business relationships between SMEs, transport providers and city authorities. This removes a barrier for SMEs to enter the market, drives faster innovation and creates better solutions.
