EIT Urban Mobility aims to play a central role in supporting transformative and responsible research and innovation and, therefore, the alignment of multiple stakeholders to transform goods and services delivery systems orienting them towards a greener, digital, more resilient and fairer urban mobility model.
We believe that one of the main barriers to articulate collective action addressing Urban Mobility challenges is the need to strengthen a shared vision of the future and a systemic understanding of these challenges. Stakeholders involved should share a systemic vision of the urban mobility present situation as regards its problems and opportunities, and should have a shared goal, knowing that their uncoordinated actions are unlikely to effectively address the challenge.
Knowing that one of the most important challenges to achieve a real transformative change is aligning the diverse and relevant stakeholders to address societal challenges, from EIT Urban Mobility we are working to be a change enable. We want to work together with our Partners and all the Urban Mobility ecosystem to create concrete opportunities to open new horizons and possibilities for development or help to replace those with others that generate a more comprehensive value (economic, social and environmental) for society.
With this understanding, we are enriching our call programme with the Open Permanent Call Strategic Business Alliance for Urban mobility, aiming at fostering potential collaborations between key partners to create new business opportunities able to accelerate the urban mobility sustainable transition.
We strive to create the environment to enable company success in the urban mobility market. That’s why we aim at scouting and supporting the most innovative and impactful ventures ideas.
We look forward to receiving your applications and make the sustainable transition happen!
