MOVE21

MOVE21 connects urban systems in an integrated approach and addresses both goods and passenger transport. The aim is to improve efficiency, capacity utilization of existing vehicles and transport-related infrastructure, accessibility and innovation capacity in urban transport.

The idea of ​​cities as testbeds is central to MOVE21. Running from May 2021 until April 2025, the project comprises three Living Labs in Oslo, Gothenburg and Hamburg, together with three replicator cities: Munich, Bologna and Rome. MOVE21 tests and upscales different solutions for passenger and goods transport in these six urban areas across the Scandinavian-Mediterranean (Scan-Med) Corridor of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The idea is to harness the positive effects of new solutions, not only in the so-called urban nodes but across the Scan-Med TEN-T corridor.

The proposed solutions deliver new, close-to-market-ready solutions that have been proven to work in different regulatory and governance settings. The cities are also committed to upscaling the most prominent solutions – which can range from new technological integrations or business models to new procurement and governance methods.

The consortium comprises 24 partners coming from seven 7 European countries.

The project has received 9 million EUR funding from the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.
