Deadline: October 01, 2025
The MobilityXlab accelerator program offers startups and emerging companies pioneering ideas within mobility and connectivity the opportunity to collaborate with leading global industry partners to validate solutions, develop pilots, and pursue potential commercial partnerships.
The focus areas for Batch 16 include Energy Efficiency, Automated Drive, Connected Services, Sustainable Technology, and Intelligent Processes. These focus on improving electric vehicle range, advancing Level 2+ autonomy, reshaping mobility experiences with connected services, driving sustainability through materials and processes, and optimizing development and production with AI-driven digital transformation.
MobilityXlab is stage agnostic but requires startups to have a functioning prototype, be a registered company in any country, and demonstrate traction such as pilots or proof-of-concepts with OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers. Collaboration with at least two of the partner companies—Magna, Polestar, Volvo Group, Zeekr Technology Europe, and Zenseact—is needed for selection.
The program lasts six months, with an optional extension, and provides startups assigned partner leads as internal champions guiding continuous collaboration progress. MobilityXlab operates as a non-profit neutral platform hosted by Lindholmen Science Park, taking no equity or fees from participants. The program’s culture emphasizes sustainability, gender equality, and diversity to foster innovation, resilience, and better business outcomes.
Key dates for Batch 16 include application closing on 1 October 2025, pitch selection by 5 November 2025, pitch week between 17-21 November 2025, and startup selection by 10 December 2025, with the batch starting in January 2026.
