Unlocking scale through specialised mobility investment | EIT Urban Mobility & Sustainable Ventures
How do we get more capital and the right support to mobility startups with the potential to scale?
Join EIT Urban Mobility and Sustainable Ventures for a morning focused on unlocking investment and growth for mobility startups. We’ll bring together specialised investors, founders, corporates and ecosystem partners to discuss what it takes to fund and scale mobility businesses.
The event will also mark the launch of the London Ecosystem Agent programme and new initiatives designed to help startups enter new markets, connect with the right partners and investors, and access specialised support as they grow.
Expect a panel discussion, practical insights and plenty of time to connect with people across the UK and European mobility ecosystem.
