The EIT Urban Mobility Accelerator is a EU-funded program in five European regional hubs implemented through partners to take early-stage mobility startups to the next level. The City of Amsterdam, AMS Institute, Technical University Eindhoven and Brainport are part of Innovation Hub West.

The accelerator program is looking for early-stage startup-teams with business ideas that reduce congestion and increase efficiency in the transport system. Innovative approaches to make commuting faster or more enjoyable, concepts to accelerate the transition to low- or zero-emission forms of transport – and with all other possible ideas that help to solve mobility-related problems.

Application requirements
We are looking for early-stage startups from EU Member States and Horizon 2020 Associated Countries with at least 2 FTE and a properly validated, clear, scalable and innovative business idea that solves a mobility-related customer problem. Find out more about the eligibility criteria and the participating countries here. Startups can only apply per region.
