Hyperloop One is not currently following any specific EU initiatives, policies, or legislative files.

Other financial info
The estimate of costs is based upon staff time, travel, and other expenses associated with the executives of Hyperloop One traveling to meet with European Union policy makers. Our executives are meeting with the European Union policy makers to inform them regarding Hyperloop One as an ultra fast ground transportation system and discuss projects and funding.
Hyperloop One will update the Transparency Register accordingly should any of the submitted information change. -

Meetings
Meetings
4 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
