SME Market Expansion Open Call 2027
The EIT Urban Mobility is thrilled to launch the new edition of the SME Market Expansion Open Call.
The Call is designed to promote business growth and market expansion, encouraging the replication and scaling of successful solutions in new regions or sectors. It offers a strategic platform for SMEs with ambitions to scale by expanding into new markets.
The Call focus is on accelerating the market uptake of impactful innovations by reducing the risk of development and deployment. EIT Urban Mobility aims to support solutions with a clear path to market, helping cities and businesses confidently procure and scale proven innovations. Through collaboration with an end-client, SMEs can validate their offering in a real-world setting, while gaining visibility and credibility in the European market.
The Call will focus on five topics:
- Public and Shared Transport
- Urban Logistics
- Electrification of transport and alternative fuels
- Mobility data management
- Health and mobility
EIT funding allocation
The total estimated funding allocated to this Call is €600 000. Around 10 projects are to be implemented by 10 different SMEs. Each awarded entity will receive a fixed lump sum grant of EUR 60 000.
Who can apply?
This Call is a mono-beneficiary call addressed to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that are supported by an end client, a public or private entity, committed to testing and demonstrating the solution.
To ensure a balanced portfolio of projects, SMEs selected for the previous SME Market Expansion Open Call 2026 are not eligible to apply for this Call.
