Innovations to market

Innovation programme

EIT Urban Mobility’s Innovation programme drives new solutions to market and develops business models to ensure their widespread adoption. Our mission is to test and scale inclusive, accessible, safe and sustainable innovations that are close-to-market. Each of our piloted solutions contributes to the shared goal of enabling cities and major industries to innovate more efficiently and effectively.

To successfully scale projects and create social impact, we bridge the gap between initial research and large-scale adoption by going beyond pilot demonstrations to support commercialisation, upskilling of innovators and providing advisory services. We support high technology-readiness-level (TRL) projects and work to develop their commercial viability.
