Founding membership
Build the next chapter of smart mobility with SMC
For organizations ready to help lead
Founding Members are the strategic backbone of the Smart Mobility Center. Beyond full membership benefits, Founding Members co-direct the research agenda, co-lead fact-finding missions, hold a seat on pooled fund governance, and help shape the knowledge infrastructure the whole network draws on. It is a role in how SMC is built, not a level of access.
