Accelerating sustainable urban mobility: A conversation with EIT Urban Mobility

EIT Urban Mobility — an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) — is one of Europe's leading platforms for transport innovation. Since 2020, it has supported more than 420 pilots in over 185 cities, backed 235+ innovation projects and helped bring 120 new solutions to market. As a Supporter of the Covenant of Mayors and a key partner in the Coalition on Sustainable Mobility, EIT Urban Mobility works at the intersection of innovation, city practice and EU policy to make urban transport systems greener, safer and more equitable.

In this interview, Bernadette Bergsma, Director of Communications and EU Affairs, outlines the key barriers cities face in decarbonising transport, highlights inspiring examples from Nicosia, Oslo and Vienna, and explains how Covenant signatories — large and small — can tap into EIT Urban Mobility's programmes, funding calls and city networks to accelerate their own transitions.
