The EIT Urban Mobility has launched the SME Market Expansion Open Call 2026 to support small and medium enterprises in scaling their innovations and expanding into new regions or sectors.
The focus areas of this call include Public Transport, Urban Logistics, Electrification of transport and alternative fuels, Mobility data management, and Health and mobility.
This fourth edition of the call is designed to promote business growth and market expansion, encouraging the replication and scaling of successful solutions in new regions or sectors. It offers a strategic platform for SMEs with ambitions to scale by opening subsidiaries or expanding into new markets. The call focuses on accelerating the market uptake of impactful innovations by reducing the risk of development and deployment, supporting solutions with a clear path to market, and helping cities and businesses confidently procure and scale proven innovations. Through collaboration with an end-client, SMEs can validate their offering in a real-world setting while gaining visibility and credibility in the European market.
The total estimated funding allocated to this call is €600,000, with around 10 projects to be implemented by 10 different SMEs. Each entity awardee will receive €60,000 in EIT funding. The call is a mono-beneficiary call addressed to SMEs supported by an end client, whether a public or private entity, committed to testing and demonstrating the solution. SMEs that were funded in the previous EIT Urban Mobility SME Market Expansion Open Call (2025) are not eligible to apply.
Applicants must first register their organization in the EU Funding & Tender Opportunities portal to obtain the Participant Identification Code (PIC number). Existing users of the EIT Urban Mobility NetSuite platform can log in to submit their application, while new users must complete the Partner Information Form.
