EIT Urban Mobility, Κοινότητα Καινοτομίας του EIT (EIT Urban Mobility, an EIT Knowledge and Innovation Community)

In plain words

EIT Urban Mobility invests up to €2.5 million in startups with solutions for getting around cities, alongside other investors (it does not lead the round). It is for companies already raising a pre-seed, seed or Series A round. It is not a grant: it takes a stake in the company.

Who can apply

Startups based in the EU or a Horizon Europe associated country that are raising money now and have a prototype, pilot or MVP in: urban logistics, shared mobility and public transport, mobility data, electrification and alternative fuels, health and mobility.

What it pays for

A co-investment (equity) of up to €2.5 million in the current funding round, alongside venture funds or other private investors.
