Transport and Mobility

The global shift towards sustainable energy is reshaping industries, and the mobility sector is at the forefront of this transformation. Companies in transportation, logistics, and mobility services must find ways to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining profitability and efficiency.  
Prio, Portugal’s leader in affordable energy transition and the country’s largest producer of biofuels from residual raw materials, is committed to accelerating this change. Recognizing that each company has unique energy needs, Prio aims to develop tailored B2B business models that drive the adoption of sustainable energy solutions in the mobility sector.  
This challenge invites students from all ECIU member Universities to explore innovative strategies that transform the energy transition into a business opportunity. Participants will analyze market trends, technological advancements, and regulatory frameworks to propose scalable, profitable solutions that help mobility companies transition to cleaner energy. Whether through new partnerships, service models, or technological innovations, this challenge is an opportunity to shape the future of mobility with Prio at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions.  
The ECIU Creathon is a three-day event where students from the University of Aveiro and from all other ECIU universities will come together to learn, create, innovate and have fun! We are also preparing activities that will give you the opportunity to meet local entrepreneurs and start-up representatives. Check the programme and sign up! See you in Aveiro in May!
