EIT Rapid Applications for Transport Open Call 2026

RAPTOR is EIT (European Institute of Innovation & Technology) Urban Mobility's rapid piloting programme designed to address concrete urban mobility challenges through fast and focused collaboration between cities and innovators. Participating cities define a specific challenge linked to their local mobility needs. Startups and SMEs propose solutions tailored to that challenge and work closely with the city to adapt, test, and validate the solution in a real urban environment. RAPTOR 2026 includes 15 city-defined mobility challenges (including challenges from Edinburgh and London), each addressing a specific local need. Proposals must clearly demonstrate how the proposed solution responds to the selected city's challenge within the scope of a six-month project. Each successful solution provider will receive €60,000. The programme is designed to support fast experimentation and applied innovation, direct collaboration between cities and solution providers, and solutions with clear potential for replication and scale.
