A Powerful Network of Innovators
CoMotion’s yearly Innovators program has one simple goal: to support the best and brightest startups and early-stage companies making mobility more sustainable, multimodal and equitable.
Innovators are at the center of CoMotion activities throughout the year. Selected companies have free access to all CoMotion events and are put forward in the selection process for our three annual challenges: M2 Challenge at CoMotion MIAMI, Motivate in Vancouver, and The LA New Mobility Challenge at CoMotion LA. Finalists will get to pitch in front of a curated team of investors, VCs, and key players from the public and private sectors.
