Cities across Europe face a shared challenge: Delivering cleaner, safer, and more efficient transport. To help solve this, EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, has launched its Scaleup Mobility Programme. The programme unites ten high-potential scaleups with five leading European innovation hubs: UnternehmerTUM (Munich), CARNET-UPC and Mobile World Capital Barcelona, PowerHUB (Prague), and DTU Science Park (Copenhagen).
The programme provides tailored mentoring, investor access, and direct city network connections, helping each startup rapidly scale solutions that can transform urban mobility across Europe.
Meet the 2025 cohort: Game-changing solutions for cities
“Each company faces its own unique set of challenges, and our Scaleup Mobility Programme is designed to provide tailored support to address those gaps. We combine hands-on mentoring and a strong focus on investor readiness. This combination ensures that our support to high-potential startups is relevant to reduce scalability risks inherent to each business, paving their way for market uptake and higher probabilities for long-term success.”
— Raül Feliu, Startup Programmes Manager, EIT Urban Mobility.
The participants are tackling critical mobility challenges from electrification, logistics, sharing economy, automation to micro parks:
- AviBike: From Hungary comes AviBike, making cycling safer and more convenient for everyone. Their smart and secure docking systems protect bicycles and scooters from theft, encouraging more people to ride and making micromobility a reliable choice for daily transport.
- Crabaride: Operating out of Switzerland and the UK, Crabaride is making long-distance carpooling a practical, everyday choice. Their AI-powered platform matches drivers and passengers safely, turning empty seats into shared journeys and cutting costs and emissions across Europe.
- ecoro GmbH: Based in Germany, ecoro is reimagining industrial logistics. Their automated, CO₂-free transport systems replace polluting vehicles with efficient, sustainable alternatives, helping factories and cities decarbonise their operations.
- full&fast: From Spain, full&fast is tackling one of the biggest barriers to electrification: slow and costly charging infrastructure. Their flexible, modular solutions slash lead times and make it easier for fleets and cities to roll out e-mobility at scale.
- K2 Mobility GmbH: Based in Germany, K2 Mobility enables the electrification of commercial vehicle fleets with an AI-powered platform that optimizes charging across depots and on the road for trucks and buses—improving reliability and total cost of ownership.
- Mobility Signage. From Germany, Mobility Signage is building a modular, real-time, AI-native ITCS operating system for mass-transit operators, unifying fragmented legacy systems, centralizing data, and enabling faster innovation.
- PANTOhealth GmbH. In Germany, PANTOhealth provides AI-powered predictive maintenance for rail, tram, and metro overhead lines and pantographs—detecting defects early, reducing downtime, and boosting network reliability.
- Replan GmbH. From Germany, Replan develops Replan.city, a cloud SaaS that generates calibrated, multimodal traffic simulations in one to two days, letting cities and mobility providers test scenarios quickly and at low cost.
- Syntonym Limited. Based in the United Kingdom, Syntonym delivers patent-pending, lossless anonymization for camera-based mobility systems (AD/ADAS/DMS), removing personal identifiers while preserving data utility to enable GDPR-compliant, privacy-first vision AI.
- VivaDrive Polska sp.z.o.o. From Poland, VivaDrive builds an AI “autopilot” for corporate mobility that turns fleet data into automated actions to cut costs and emissions—already managing 100,000 vehicles and preparing to scale across the EU.
Together, these startups address the most pressing urban mobility needs: Reducing emissions, improving access, and creating safer, smarter cities.
Driving Europe toward climate-neutral cities
The programme is designed to accelerate solutions that support the EU Green Deal and Europe’s mission for 100 climate-neutral cities by 2030. By connecting these scaleups with investors and decision-makers, the programme ensures their innovations can be deployed at scale — quickly and effectively.
“Supporting impact-driven innovators is at the core of our mission because their success accelerates the transition to more sustainable future-proofed European cities. This benefits us all as citizens and strengthens Europe’s resilience and competitiveness which is crucial in today’s challenging geopolitical context.” Adds Feliu.
About EIT Urban Mobility
EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, aims to accelerate solutions and the transition towards a user-centric, integrated and truly multimodal transport system. As the leading European innovation community for urban mobility, EIT Urban Mobility works to avoid fragmentation by facilitating collaboration between cities, industry, academia, research and innovation to solve the most pressing mobility challenges of cities. Using cities as living labs, its 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.
