Opening Ceremony of the European Startup Prize for Mobility (5th Edition)

The European Startup Prize for mobility (EUSP) is an EU-founded acceleration and investment programme for sustainable mobility startups. It was created in 2017 by MEP Karima Delli, Chairwoman of the European Parliament’s Transport Committee, together with Boston Consulting Group and Via ID.

The Prize brings together all major EU institutions (European Parliament, European Commission, European Investment Bank, EIT Urban Mobility, Europe’s Rail) and together with multi-national mobility companies and major tech players (see below).

This public-private initiative aims to support and scale up smart and sustainable mobility startups across Europe via massive visibility, investment opportunities, business mentoring, and more.

This event will open the application period for the 5th edition, which will remain open on the Prize’s website until 20 June 2023. It will allow all partner organisations to present the benefits they can offer for the winning startups and their vision of a smarter, cleaner, and more inclusive mobility future. Join us!
