Transport & Mobility grants
DfT and Innovate UK funding for clean, connected and autonomous transport
Transport funding rewards projects that solve a real system-level problem, not just a vehicle-level improvement. Decarbonisation, safety, congestion, freight efficiency and integration with public infrastructure are all fundable themes, but the proposal must show how the technology fits into existing networks and supply chains.

Horizon Europe
[HORIZON] HORIZON-CID-2026-01-02 R&I in Support of the Clean Industrial Deal: Clean Technologies for Climate Action
Best suited to The opportunity is strongest for companies working in: renewable power and heat; smart grids and integrated energy systems; battery and energy-storage technologies; renewable hydrogen; sustainable fuels; carbon capture and utilisation; energy infrastructure; clean technologies serving manufacturing, transport or energy users.
EIT Urban Mobility
[EIT Urban Mobility] Strategic Innovation Open Call - Electrification of transport and alternative fuels
Solutions that advance zero-emission urban mobility through innovation across the electrification value chain, vehicles, new battery technologies, smart /dynamic charging infrastructure, grid integration or life battery extension, reuse and recycle. Alternative fuels solutions such as hydrogen applications, that support early adoption, reducing initial or operative costs, offer integrated solutions to the urban environment, and are viable to scale-up.
EIT Urban Mobility
[EIT Urban Mobility] Strategic Innovation Open Call - Health and mobility
Solutions that promote active mobility as a foundation for healthier urban lifestyles, by improving safety, convenience, inclusivity and integration within the urban environment, facilitating a modal shift towards active modes. Proposals should go beyond typical behavioural change campaigns, to include innovative and market-oriented solutions that strengthen the European cycling industry and align with the goals of the European Declaration on Cycling. Digital or public space design innovations must demonstrate a disruptive approach and clear potential for adoption by public authorities. This…
EIT Urban Mobility
[EIT Urban Mobility] Strategic Innovation Open Call - Mobility data management
Data-driven solutions that enhance the performance, efficiency and responsiveness of urban mobility systems through e.g. the use of advanced analytics, AI, quantum technology or real time data – in alignment with EU level interoperability and data governance efforts (e.g. common data spaces, European data standards, open digital infrastructures). Solutions that enable cities and public authorities to make data-informed decisions – particularly for the design and implementation of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), inclusive/participatory planning and citizen engagement, resilience and…
EIT Urban Mobility
[EIT Urban Mobility] Strategic Innovation Open Call - Public transport
Solutions that strengthen public transport as the backbone of a resilient, sustainable, inclusive and multimodal mobility ecosystem, by improving its attractiveness and competitiveness – with the clear goal of attracting users away from private cars. New concepts, technologies and business models that enhance demand responsive transport and integrate shared mobility services with public transit – aimed at improving first- and last-mile connectivity and expanding overall network coverage are encouraged.
