Led the MAAS project (2019) as coordinator, developing a mobility platform for employers and individuals under the SME Phase 1 scheme.
MOBILITY CONCEPT BV
Dutch SME bridging digital MaaS platforms and zero-emission aviation operations, with expertise in sustainable transport business cases.
Their core work
Mobility Concept is a Dutch SME working at the intersection of sustainable transport strategy and zero-emission operations. Their early work centered on designing Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platforms for employers and individuals — digital tools that aggregate transport options to reduce car dependency. More recently, they have shifted toward aviation decarbonization, contributing to large-scale European demonstrations of sustainable aviation fuel, green hydrogen, and zero-emission airport ground operations. Their value to consortia appears to lie in developing credible sustainable business cases and translating operational mobility challenges into commercially viable solutions.
What they specialise in
Participating in TULIPS (2022–2026), a large Innovation Action demonstrating sustainable aviation fuel, liquid hydrogen, and zero-emission operations at European airports.
Both MAAS and TULIPS list sustainable business cases as a keyword or core output, suggesting this is a consistent cross-project competency.
TULIPS keywords include zero emission operations, carbon sequestration, and circular economy — indicating a role in operational transition planning for transport hubs.
How they've shifted over time
In 2019, Mobility Concept focused on digital urban mobility — specifically MaaS platforms designed to help employers manage and reduce private car use. By 2022, their project profile had pivoted sharply toward sustainable aviation energy: green hydrogen, liquid hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, and zero-emission airport operations. This is not a gradual evolution but a sector jump — from software-oriented urban mobility to energy-intensive aviation decarbonization. The shift suggests either deliberate repositioning toward the larger EU green transport funding stream, or that they are applying mobility system thinking to a new and more complex transport context.
Mobility Concept is moving away from urban digital mobility tools toward aviation decarbonization infrastructure, making them a more relevant partner for future projects centered on green hydrogen at transport hubs, sustainable fuel supply chains, or net-zero airport strategy.
How they like to work
Mobility Concept has led one project — a small SME Phase 1 feasibility study (€50k) — and joined as a participant in a significantly larger Innovation Action (€666k). With 42 unique partners across 12 countries accumulated across just two projects, their network exposure is disproportionately large for their project count, almost certainly driven by TULIPS' wide multi-country consortium. This pattern suggests they function best as a focused specialist contributor within large consortia rather than as a recurring coordinator or consortium anchor.
Despite only two projects, Mobility Concept has touched 42 unique partners across 12 countries — a broad European footprint explained by their participation in TULIPS, a large multi-country airport demonstration project. Their network is wide but shallow, with no evidence of repeat partnerships.
What sets them apart
Mobility Concept is one of the few Dutch SMEs combining a background in digital passenger mobility platforms with hands-on involvement in aviation decarbonization — a rare cross-domain pairing. Their consistent emphasis on sustainable business cases (not just technical solutions) makes them useful in consortia that need someone to translate engineering outputs into commercial and operational reality. For a consortium targeting airports, sustainable transport corridors, or green hydrogen adoption in aviation, they bring both the mobility system perspective and the business framing that pure technology partners often lack.
Highlights from their portfolio
- TULIPSTheir largest project by far (€666k, 2022–2026), this multi-country Innovation Action demonstrates green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, and zero-emission operations at European airports — a flagship EU aviation decarbonization effort.
- MAASTheir only coordinator role — a lean SME Phase 1 feasibility study (€50k, 2019) that established their credentials in digital employer mobility platforms before their pivot to aviation.
