Grow your start-up by joining EIT accelerator programmes!
Are you and your startup solving some of our mobility-related challenges? And can you use support from a European network with cities, industries and experts? Then check out EIT’s five accelerator programmes related to sustainable city logistics, urban air mobility, e+ mobility, energy and public realm and 5G technologies for urban mobility.
Via the accelerator programmes, EIT Urban Mobility intends to help at least 50 startups to grow to the next level. We are looking for early-stage startup teams with all possible ideas that help to solve mobility-related problems and create more liveable cities in Europe and worldwide. As an impact investor, the programmes from EIT Urban Mobility align with several of the Sustainable Development Goals like Sustainable cities and communities, Climate action and Good health and well-being.
All their six-months accelerator programmes include support services worth between €20,000 and €30,000 such as:
- Facilitated access to living labs, cities and the EIT Urban Mobility Community
- Personalised business coaching
- Mentoring by industry experts and experienced founders
- Virtual startup workshops & education
- Finding your product-market fit
- Access to EIT Urban Mobility investment initiatives and funding instruments
The programmes and services are led by their partners: UPC, UnternehmerTUM, Mov’eo, ZONE cluster and Toulouse Metropole.
Veronika Giacko, CMO of Mileus and alumna of an EIT Urban Mobility accelerator programme: “I’d recommend the programmes to urban mobility startups that want to gain access to a wealth of workshops, coaching sessions and business development opportunities to accelerate their growth.”
The startups applying to the programmes should have clear, scalable business models and products/services, preferably within the range from TRL 4 to 6. All requirements can be found in the guide for applicants on the dedicated accelerator programme pages of the different themes. We especially welcome applications from female and diverse teams.
