- January 2026
“Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, and its entire network, see this initiative as a great opportunity to make contact with European bodies and organisations of excellence in the field of smart cities. This is another example of our successful collaboration with the City of Milan, having already worked together on other great European projects, where city development is the central objective”. Eugenio Gatti, Director of the Foundation
The initiative
EIT Urban Mobility’s main objectives are to create new urban spaces on a human scale and improve the quality of life in metropolitan areas, while guiding technological innovation for the future of Milan. Milan is to be the only Italian city taking part in the project alongside Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Eindhoven, Hamburg, Helmond, Helsinki, Istanbul, Munich, Prague, Stockholm and Tel Aviv. Milan, together with AMAT (Agency of Environmental Mobility and the Territory) and Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, is one of the 48 partners in a consortium defined by the European Union – through EIT, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology – as a major player in implementing policies for future urban mobility. The EU is providing a fund of 1.6 billion euros to promote integrated mobility and increase the competitiveness of European markets. The objective is to redesign personal and collective urban mobility in large cities and small towns, applying advanced technology while also promoting social inclusion.
