The European Startup Prize for Mobility (EUSP), an accelerator scheme for startups focused on developing sustainable mobility innovations, has revealed the names of the 50 finalists in its latest programme.
This year’s launch initially received 550 applications from across Europe, and the organisation’s panel of 50 evaluators proceeded to whittle the list down, with the results giving an overview of the future of mobility.
The EUSP is a joint venture run by the European Parliament’s Transport and Tourism Committee, Boston Consulting Group and Via ID that invites mobility startups from around Europe to submit ideas for the future of transport.
The organisation aims to bring together Europe’s best startups who hold the promise for new, green, connected, inclusive and sustainable technology in all mobility sectors.
The final will be hosted Paris at the end of the year, delayed initially due to the pandemic, with the opportunity to showcase the 10 best startups.
