THE EUROPEAN STARTUP PRIZE FOR MOBILITY

an EU-founded private/public initiative

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 Karima Delli, Chairwoman of the European Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism, Boston Consulting Group and Via ID.

EUSP now brings together all major EU institutions, including the European Parliament, European Commission, European Investment Bank, EIT Urban Mobility, Europe’s Rail as well as major mobility corporations and tech giants.

As a public-private initiative, EUSP aims to support and scale up smart and sustainable mobility startups all across Europe.

Each year, > 600 startups apply to its Acceleration and Investment programme. The EUSP helps the best startup in their European expansion, thanks to a 3-month remote acceleration program.
