14 Game-Changing Mobility Solutions Hit the Road with Romania’s First Urban Mobility Accelerator

The inaugural edition of inVest – Urban Mobility Accelerator is officially underway, with 14 high-potential teams selected from over 50 applicants across Europe. 

Backed by EIT Urban Mobility, the programme is a bold step toward transforming how people and goods move through cities – and it's the first initiative of its kind in Romania.

Running from July to October 2025, inVest is powered by Iceberg Plus and Cowork Timișoara, with additional support from ADR Vest. As a flagship project, it exemplifies EIT Urban Mobility’s commitment to supporting regional innovation ecosystems and scaling sustainable urban transport solutions across Europe.

This first cohort proves that Romania has enormous potential in the urban mobility space. We have teams working on everything from micromobility and traffic optimisation to smart data collection systems and digital platforms for urban logistics
