Sustainable Mobility Challenge A Challenge from Sweden invites the world’s most progressive innovators and organisations to take part in unlocking the potential of sustainable mobility services Awarding €150,000 and accelerating market introduction for innovative, scalable and sustainable mobility solutions Global climate goals are set and the journey toward a sustainable future has begun. Sweden is committed to push boundaries and build a more sustainable future with a fossil-free transport sector at the latest by 2045. Understanding that our daily commute accounts for a substantial part of our CO2-emissions, we are exploring new ways to improve how we travel. Through the Sustainable Mobility Challenge, Sweden invites the world’s most progressive innovators and organisations to take part in unlocking the potential of sustainable mobility services. To reduce the carbon footprint from our daily travel and commute, we will recognise and implement fossil-free, user-friendly personal transport services that meet the needs of today’s commuter, and that reduce the need for privately-owned vehicles. THE AWARD PROCESS The Sustainable Mobility Challenge offers winners a direct path to more quickly and easily access the Swedish market in 2019. We are pleased to recognise the three most innovative, scalable, and user-friendly solutions with an award in the amount of €50,000 each.  Once the Winners of the Sustainable Mobility Challenge are named in Summer 2019, they qualify for facilitation support and a series of meetings with representatives from the sites for  accelerated market introduction  with the goal to launch 1-3 of the most promising and transformational sustainable mobility solutions available. The Swedish Energy Agency has allocated €1.5 million for an open call grant to accelerate this market introduction in Sweden starting in Autumn 2019, including design, installation and evaluation required for successful commercial adoption. THE STAKEHOLDERS This initiative has created a network of cities, employers, large companies and property owners who are ready to test and invest in impactful, feasible, and scalable solutions that take us one step closer to a sustainable future.  While only three solutions will receive cash awards, all applicants will receive valuable feedback from our  Evaluation Panel  to help evolve or fine-tune their ideas, and top-scoring applicants will have the unique opportunity to have their ideas shared with our  Stakeholder Panel  — many of whom are potential investors and changemakers in the sustainable mobility sector. We are thankful and fortunate to have the tremendous support of the following stakeholders.
