What does this involve?
The Sustainable Mobility Cluster Builder is a new programme that helps SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) in Scotland make the most of new opportunities in sustainable transport. This also supports the Scottish Government's targets to decarbonise transport.
The cluster builder programme includes:
- awareness raising and networking events
- one-to-one support sessions with expert advisors
- opportunities to connect with other businesses in Scotland and beyond
- signposting to further opportunities, funding and business support
The programme is delivered by Urban Foresight, funded by Scottish Enterprise and in partnership with Transport Scotland. The project is 50% ERDF funded through the Scottish Programme for Research Innovation and Technology Ecosystem (known as SPRITE).
Other benefits include:
Access to bespoke support and funding
Eligible SMEs can access fully-funded support from expert advisors, who will help you find funding and connect you to clients, partners and Scotland’s world-leading research base. Find out about emerging public sector opportunities and get expert advice on how to scale your mobility business in Scotland.
Promote your business to a global audience
The programme provides a platform to promote your business, win clients and attract investment.

You'll receive marketing support to profile your business and professionally designed materials to promote your expertise.
Online events
A webinar series highlights new opportunities for mobility businesses to succeed in Scotland.
