EIT Urban Mobility Accelerators
EIT Urban Mobility is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. This initiative’s purpose is to fasten positive mobility changes in order to make urban spaces more living-friendly.
EIT consociates business, educational and research organizations in order to create dynamic, cross-border partnerships. Those are innovation communities and every one of them is dedicated to searching for solutions to a specific global challenge. Not only the EIT Innovation Community develops innovative products and services, it also establishes companies and trains new generations of entrepreneurs.
New technologies can apply in humans as well as goods and waste transportations. Supporting innovations and transformations can improve quality of life and mobility in order to reduce carbon dioxide emission which will increase the competitiveness of the European economy and, as a result, solutions to those real problems can be found. Among many challenges humanity is facing there is increasing population in cities, ways to build and maintain infrastructure as well as both economical and environmental cost of congestion. Demands of greater access and safety and questions such as those about improving the quality of the air can also be mentioned as examples of those challenges.
