Ubrzavanje društvenog utjecaja
Fond Bolt za urbane inovacije podržava humanitarna partnerstva u trećem sektoru koja promiču održivo i uključivo planiranje prometa, pružaju potporu vozačima i dostavljačima na platformi te pomažu lokalnim zajednicama u kojima Bolt djeluje.
Zašto Fond za urbane inovacije postoji
Dijeljeni prijevoz ima snagu pozitivno transformirati gradove. Ali uvijek postoji još toga što možemo učiniti.
Fond za urbane inovacije podržava projekte koji oživljavaju Boltovu misiju: gradovi za ljude, a ne za automobile i pomaže osnažiti ključne dionike koji rade na ostvarenju ove promjene.
Inicijativa uključuje partnerstva s akademskim institucijama, nevladinim organizacijama (NVO), gradskim vlastima i lokalnim zajednicama, istovremeno koristeći naše ljude i tehnologiju za pokretanje značajnih promjena u urbanim okruženjima diljem svijeta.

Tri stupa Fonda za urbane inovacije
Dijeljenjem projekata društvenog utjecaja koje podržavamo između tri stupa, osiguravamo da urbano okruženje i lokalne zajednice imaju koristi.
Stup 1: Održivi urbani život
Financiranje vrhunskih istraživanja temeljenih na podacima kako bi se pomoglo gradovima u rješavanju hitnih prometnih problema i ubrzanju održive urbane mobilnosti.
Stup 2: Ekonomsko osnaživanje
Podrška ambicijama vozača i dostavljača putem financijske pomoći, učenja jezika i obuke vještina.
Stup 3: Podrška zajednici i u hitnim situacijama
Doprinos humanitarnim projektima koji nastoje poboljšati gospodarstvo, društvo ili okoliš u 600+ gradova u kojima Bolt djeluje.
Pillar 1: The Sustainable Urban Transitions Lab
The Sustainable Urban Transitions Lab is a research hub that collaborates with leading academics at ETH Zurich, a public research university.
Through this collaboration, Bolt will provide funding and data that help turn theory into practical solutions for tackling transport challenges in towns and cities with limited time and resources.
The Lab began its work in April 2025 with projects in Seville and Hannover ↗, analysing ways to optimise planned investments in public transport infrastructure and mobility hubs.
In the long term, the Lab aims to help more cities redesign their streets for a more sustainable urban life, prioritising people over cars, creating vibrant main streets, expanding bike lanes, repurposing parking spaces, improving connections to public transport, and making micromobility easier to use.

Pillar 2: Bolt Accelerator Programme
The Bolt Accelerator Programme provides driver and courier partners with seed funding for business ideas and tailored online skills training.
The programme has supported 30 start-up business ideas pitched by driver and courier partners, including a mobile app connecting users with spare parts, a business creating charging stations for electric vehicles, and various fleet management businesses.
A further 360 drivers and couriers have participated in the Bolt Academy skills development programme.
Following its successful launch in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, the Accelerator Programme has now expanded to South Africa and, most recently, to Estonia.

“I was the only female finalist in the Bolt Accelerator Programme from Benin City, Edo State. I saw a gap in the local ride-hailing ecosystem — too few female drivers. My idea was to empower women through a female-led fleet. With support from the programme, I launched Modimap Transport Limited and bought an additional car to help more women overcome the barrier of vehicle access.”

Omogućavanje mobilnosti izbjeglicama
In partnership with The Bike Project ↗, Bolt supports the organisation’s mission to refurbish bikes and donate them to refugees in the UK.
As part of this effort, several Driver Hubs now serve as bike drop-off points, and we regularly encourage donations through the app.

Financijska podrška tijekom hitnih situacija
Should an emergency or natural disaster occur in a city where Bolt operates, we respond quickly to support the local community.
Following the invasion of Ukraine, we donated ↗ 5% of every order made in the Bolt and Bolt Food apps to non-governmental organisations helping Ukraine. The total donation exceeded €5 million.
During the catastrophic flooding in Kenya, we introduced the Flood Assist ride-type ↗ in the Bolt app. In collaboration with Kenya Red Cross, 5% of every Flood Assist order went towards supporting the victims.
We also recently supported Red Cross relief efforts following the significant earthquake in Thailand.
