European Transport Innovation Challenge 2017: young and creative transport innovators wanted! Apply by May 2

The European Transport Innovation Challenge 2017 will reward transport innovators for their creative ideas for a cleaner and more efficient future in transport. The European Commission invites them to give creative solutions for goods and services that will contribute to reducing CO2 emissions in transport. This can be a product, a service, the result of research or a research project.

The purpose is to get novel approaches to better mobility, better access to mobility, less pollution,  less congestion and more safety and security. Creative solutions can be in any transport mode, and in many different sectors linked to transport, such as solutions in healthcare, retail or food sectors. The key word is innovation.

Winners (up to 12 young innovators) will be rewarded with a trip to the 12th ITS European Congress in Strasbourg on June 18 or 19, Europe’s biggest gathering of professionals working in intelligent transport systems.

They will also receive personalised coaching on how best to develop their idea at a workshop on the first day of the Congress, full participation free of charge and free accommodation.

Winners must be aged 18 or under 35.
