Greentech Alliance (GTA), a global connection network for sustainable technology businesses based in Berlin, has reached an agreement to acquire Intermobility, a Paris-based network focused on transport and mobility. Intermobility currently connects more than 1,000 companies, public authorities, and ecosystem players. Upon completion of the deal, the combined entity will encompass over 5,000 members and partners operating across 25 countries on six continents.
The acquisition is designed to link climate investors, startups, corporations, and policymakers within one of Europe's most critical sectors for decarbonization. Charles Newton Price, CEO of Greentech Alliance, stated that while Europe possesses the necessary capital, startups, and cities, it suffers from a coordination problem where these groups rarely meet. By integrating Intermobility, GTA aims to place those who build, fund, and purchase mobility solutions into a single network.
Financial terms for the acquisition were not disclosed. The deal comes at a time when transport emissions in Europe remain stubbornly high; according to the European Environment Agency, these emissions were 25.3% above 1990 levels in 2023, accounting for approximately 31% of total EU emissions. While Transport & Environment estimates the sector requires €310 billion in annual investment by 2030 to meet climate targets, funding activity has recently slowed. Data from Via ID and Dealroom indicates that European mobility startups closed 654 funding rounds in 2025, a decrease from 785 the previous year, raising a total of $10.1 billion in private funding.
Greentech Alliance was founded in Berlin in May 2020 by Lubomila Jordanova, Simon Thies, Hannah Kromminga, and Jan-Jaap Verhoeve. Incorporated as both a Canadian not-for-profit and a German for-profit company, the organization currently counts more than 3,000 community members and partners, including over 700 investors, and has facilitated more than 2,000 introductions. Intermobility was established in 2022 by François Hoehlinger as a European network spanning private companies and public institutions.
The merger is intended to bridge the gap between climate solutions and funding shortfalls by bringing Intermobility's operators and cities into the same network as GTA's investors and corporates. For investors, GTA membership will now provide curated access to mobility ventures from both communities, alongside introductions to co-investors and public buyers. For companies, the deal opens direct channels to customers, pilots, and capital across Europe and beyond.
The two organizations plan to explore joint ventures and financing projects, including initiatives linked to GTA's Climate Zero programmes, subject to separate approval. Hoehlinger will join GTA's board to help shape the Alliance's direction as it scales internationally. Hoehlinger noted that while Intermobility built a collaborative table in Europe, Greentech Alliance provides international reach and access to capital while maintaining a grounded European perspective.
