AGENZIA MOBILITA' AMBIENTE E TERRITORIO SRL

Their core work

AMAT is Milan's technical agency for urban mobility, environment, and territorial planning, operating as a publicly-owned private company. They provide city-level data on traffic, air quality, and urban infrastructure to support evidence-based policy in one of Europe's largest metropolitan areas. In H2020 projects, they contribute real-world urban testbed access, mobility datasets, and on-the-ground monitoring capabilities — acting as the bridge between research consortia and Milan's transport and environmental systems.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

AMAT's early H2020 involvement (2016–2018) centered on broad smart city themes — digital infrastructure, energy efficient districts, citizen involvement, e-mobility, and nature-based urban solutions. From 2019 onward, their focus sharpened significantly toward vehicle emissions monitoring, air quality surveillance, and mobility data tools. This shift reflects a move from general urban innovation participation toward a more defined niche in transport emissions and data-driven mobility management.

AMAT is consolidating around urban transport emissions monitoring and mobility data analytics, positioning Milan as a living laboratory for clean air and smart mobility research.

How they like to work

AMAT never coordinates projects — they participate as either a direct partner or a third party, consistent with their role as a municipal technical agency contributing city-level data and infrastructure access rather than leading research agendas. They operate within large consortia (100 unique partners across 21 countries), which reflects the scale of the smart city and urban mobility projects they join. Working with AMAT means gaining access to Milan's urban environment as a real-world testbed, not acquiring research leadership.

Through just 4 projects, AMAT has connected with 100 unique partners across 21 countries, a result of participating in large-scale urban innovation consortia. Their network spans broadly across European cities and research institutions involved in smart mobility and urban sustainability.

What sets them apart

AMAT offers something most research partners cannot: direct operational authority over mobility and environmental monitoring in Milan, a city of 1.4 million with complex urban transport challenges. As a publicly-owned technical agency, they can provide real traffic data, deploy monitoring equipment on city streets, and translate research findings into actual municipal policy. For any consortium needing an Italian urban testbed with institutional backing, AMAT is a natural fit.

Highlights from their portfolio

• CARES
  Directly aligned with AMAT's core mission — used remote sensing and plume-chasing to identify high-emitting vehicles in real urban conditions, combining air quality and traffic management expertise.
• Sharing Cities
  Large-scale smart city lighthouse project that positioned Milan alongside London and Lisbon, covering digital infrastructure, energy districts, and e-mobility.
