EIT Urban Mobility’s fourth edition of its SME Market Expansion Open Call will focus on five topics, including health and mobility, urban logistics, and electrification of transport and alternative fuels. Applications for the Call, a program designed to support SME business growth and market expansion, will be accepted until December 1, 2025.

The SME Market Expansion Open Call promotes SMEs to grow and expand their markets by supporting the replication and scaling of successful solutions within new sectors or regions. The opportunity facilitates a strategic platform for SMEs, enabling them to bring their ambitions to scale, such as opening subsidiaries or expanding into new markets.

The Call aims to accelerate the market adoption of innovations by reducing development and deployment risks, with a clear path to market, by enabling cities and businesses to procure and scale those innovations. By collaborating with an end-client, SMEs can validate their innovations in a real-life setting as they gain visibility and credibility in Europe.

Who can apply?

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that supported by an end client, a public or private entity, and which are committed to testing and demonstrating their solution.
