EIT Urban Mobility Business Plan 2026-2028

EIT Urban Mobility is Europe’s leading innovation community, accelerating the transition to sustainable urban mobility for more liveable cities. Building on our Strategic Agenda 2021–2027, its 3 societal impact goals and the achievements of its startup and ramp-up phase, the Business Plan 2026–2028 sets out an ambitious programme to deliver scalable, inclusive and impact-driven solutions through strong Knowledge Triangle Integration across education, research and business, aligned with EU policy priorities.Actions focus on 5 priority domains where change is most urgent and promising: Public and Shared Transport, Health and Mobility, Electrification and Alternative Fuels, Sustainable Urban Logistics, and Mobility Data Management, supported by cross-cutting technologies such as AI and robotics.This Business Plan raises ambition across all programmes, with a unified innovation call, later-stage investments, cofunding with corporates and VCs and stronger city engagement. It reinforces our role as a recognised thought leader, through communication, stakeholder engagement and dissemination aligned with EU priorities. It advances 5 strategic objectives: creating liveable spaces; closing the knowledge gap; deploying and scaling green, safe, inclusive mobility; accelerating market opportunities; promoting effective policies and behavioural change. Key priorities include scaling education, strengthening our role as an impact-driven innovation platform, embedding gender equality and inclusion, expanding impact investment, boosting RIS actions, and securing financial sustainability through diversified revenues (€38M+ projected by 2028).From 2026, a new Impact Assessment Framework will guide outcome-driven, city-centric monitoring and accountability, aligned with EIT KPIs. By combining innovation, investment, education and policy engagement, EIT UM will reinforce Europe’s competitiveness, deliver climate impact, and drive systemic transformation of urban mobility.
