What is RAPTOR?
Rapid environmental changes are impacting our cities and require rapid and innovative actions. The Rapid Applications for Transport (RAPTOR) Programme seeks to do just this via its agile competition. The RAPTOR competition matches European cities facing urban mobility challenges with startups with innovative mobility solutions. While each of the city challenges and proposed solutions are different, the common theme woven throughout is the urgency of the transition to more sustainable transport.
Since 2022, RAPTOR has run 57 pilots across 49 cities in Europe and continues to shake up the status quo, as you can read in this Impact Story. Previous cities include Istanbul, Dublin, Utrecht, Munich, and Barcelona.
RAPTOR 2026
The RAPTOR 2026 Call will award €60 000 to the 15 startups/SMEs with the most innovative, feasible, and impactful solutions to the 15 niche city mobility challenges. Startups/SMEs will have the opportunity to develop and pilot their solution over 6 months.
