The future of transportation and mobility is wide open—and it’s calling for bold, visionary solutions.

This year, we’re inviting early-stage and emerging startups to pitch scalable solutions that challenge the status quo and reshape the infrastructure of movement across all domains of advanced transportation.

We’re looking for companies tackling questions like:
✨ How do we make transportation systems more equitable, efficient, and adaptive?
✨ What role can AI, quantum computing, or cybersecurity play in the next evolution of global logistics?
✨ Where are the gaps in supply chains, infrastructure, or modal connectivity—and how do we close them?
✨ How do we create sustainable systems that reduce emissions and waste without sacrificing performance?

Finalists will gain valuable exposure to industry leaders and ecosystem partners—with opportunities to unlock pilot programs, strategic partnerships, investment conversations, and beyond.

Let’s build what’s next—together.

Apply to the Sustainable Mobility Reverse Pitch by May 30th: https://hubs.li/Q03jghMX0

You can gain your own (FREE) certification in IT or Project Management if you:
✔️ Are 18 years or older
✔️ Live in Southeastern Tennessee
✔️ Are unemployed or in a part-time role
