ETRA is the leader of Sustainable Mobility and a developer of the Urban Platform of Valencia in the MAtchUP project, which aims to implement innovative solutions in the energy, mobility and ICT sectors of the city.<\/h3>\n

MAtchUP (Maximizing the Upscaling and replication potential of high level urban transformation strategies) is a 60-month project funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 program, led by the Valencia City Council that started in November 2017.<\/p>\n

MAtchUP will carry out large-scale pilot projects in the cities of Valencia (Spain), Dresden (Germany) and Antalya (Turkey), which will act as ‘pioneer’ cities, and the ‘follower’ cities will be Ostend (Belgium), Herzliya (Israel), Skopje (Macedonia) and Kerava (Finland).<\/p>\n

In these cities, specific actions will be carried out in selected neighbourhoods, which aim to increase energy efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, improve the air quality of the city, promote sustainable mobility and the integration of ICT.<\/p>\n
