Greentech Alliance acquires Intermobility to expand European mobility network

Deal terms and network expansion

Greentech Alliance (GTA) has signed an agreement to acquire Intermobility, a European transport and mobility network comprising over 1,000 companies, public authorities, and ecosystem players. The acquisition will merge Intermobility’s network with GTA’s existing community of more than 3,000 members and partners, spanning 25 countries across six continents.

The combined network will aim to address coordination gaps between mobility operators, cities, public authorities, climate investors, startups, and corporates. According to Tech.eu, the deal is positioned to facilitate joint ventures and financing projects, including initiatives tied to Climate Zero programmes.

Funding and emissions context

The acquisition comes at a time when European mobility startups are facing a funding squeeze. In 2025, these startups raised $10.1 billion in private funding across 654 rounds, a decline from 785 rounds the previous year. Transport emissions in Europe remain a critical challenge, with levels 25.3% above 1990 figures in 2023, accounting for 31% of the EU’s total emissions.

Greentech Alliance’s move to consolidate networks reflects a broader trend of seeking scale to improve access to capital, customers, and public-sector partnerships. The expanded network is expected to offer curated access to mobility ventures for investors and new routes to market for startups.

Leadership and structure

Greentech Alliance was founded in Berlin in 2020 by Lubomila Jordanova, Simon Thies, Hannah Kromminga, and Jan-Jaap Verhoeve. It operates as a dual entity: a Canadian not-for-profit and a German for-profit company. Charles Newton Price serves as CEO.

François Hoehlinger, founder of Intermobility, will join GTA’s board to help shape the alliance’s growth strategy. His involvement is expected to strengthen the network’s focus on public-private collaboration and financing projects.

What this means

Lazyfounder analysis — our interpretation, not reported fact.

This acquisition signals a strategic move to consolidate influence in Europe’s fragmented mobility and climate tech sectors. For founders in transport, logistics, or climate tech, the expanded network could mean easier access to pilots, corporate customers, and public-sector buyers—especially in markets where Greentech Alliance already has a footprint. The deal also reflects the pressure on mobility startups to prove scalability amid a shrinking funding environment. Operators should watch how the combined network leverages joint ventures tied to Climate Zero programmes, as this could set a template for how public-private collaboration is structured in future projects.

Key takeaways

• The combined network of 5,000+ members and partners could lower the cost of customer acquisition for mobility and climate tech startups.
• Public authorities and corporates may increasingly rely on consolidated networks like GTA for mobility solutions, shifting procurement patterns.
• The drop in funding rounds for European mobility startups (from 785 to 654) suggests investors are prioritising scale and unit economics over growth-at-all-costs.
• Greentech Alliance’s dual not-for-profit and for-profit structure may offer a model for balancing impact and revenue in climate tech.
