The European Commission is looking to reward creative solutions for better mobility

The European Commission DG Mobility and Transport recently launched the European Transport Innovation Challenge 2017. This is a new recognition award being offered to young transport innovators for the first time this year. Candidates must provide creative solutions for a product or service that will contribute to one of the following key European goals for transport: better mobility, better access to mobility, less pollution, less congestion, or more safety and security.

Up to 12 young innovators aged 18-35 will be rewarded with a trip to Strasbourg for the ITS Congress and Exhibition in June. In addition to receiving free travel and accommodation, and having the opportunity to network with leaders in the world of intelligent transport in Europe, the winners will receive personalised coaching at a dedicated mentoring workshop before the Congress begins.
