Scaling Startups Programme call

For 2025, EIT Urban Mobility will continue to support start-up entrepreneurs with the Scaling Startups Programme. 

A programme enabling start-up business to grow while reducing the inherent risk of entrepreneurship with a double-sided approach: provide tailored support responding to each start-up specific needs and facilitating a Demo Day with investors focusing on mobility, smart cities, sustainability, and impact.  

The Scaling Startup Programme call is addressed to consortiums composed by the most relevant European early-stage investors focused on mobility, smart cities, sustainability, and impact. Alternatively, applicants must demonstrate, with a proven track record, the capacity to link and engage the most relevant European early-stage investors in the scope of action. 

The consortium is expected to provide: 

• International experience and expertise within the European venture capital industry, including strong expertise in start-up assessments, impact assessments, company valuations, start-up investments, start-up divestment strategies, start-up exits and investor reporting; 
• A pool of top-notch experts with international experience delivering training, mentoring and/or coaching programmes targeting early-stage companies; 
• Experience in hosting Demo Days for investors. 

Information sessions 

To help applicants prepare and submit their proposals, EIT Urban Mobility will host information sessions after the publication of the Call to ensure open, free, and fair access to the wider mobility community. These online information events will focus on the Call content, the challenges, and requirements, as well as on the general procedures, such as the submission and evaluation process, the financial aspects and the monitoring and reporting activities.
