Who are we?

EIT Urban Mobility is an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union and Europe's largest network for transport innovation in cities.

Our mission is to accelerate change towards a sustainable model of urban mobility and liveable urban spaces. We connect public and private actors and provide them with access to markets, talent, finance and knowledge.

Using cities as living labs, our industry, research and university partners will demonstrate how new technologies can work to solve real problems in real cities by transporting people, goods and waste in smarter ways.


A key objective of the City Partnerships team is to enable cities, regions and other public authorities to navigate the innovation ecosystem to meet their sustainable mobility goals. Activities can include supporting the development of pilot projects, networking and events, capacity building, and on-the-ground fieldwork and citizen engagement. The City Partnerships team helps to connect cities within the network as well as provides overarching support to the organization to incorporate the voice and needs of public authorities.

Join our team and be part of the change!
