Get connected! Hackathon on Smart Mobility and Sustainable Logistics
There are more than 1.2 billion cars in the world, we make more than 100 thousand flights per day, hours are spent every day commuting from work to home, from school to malls, making us the most mobile generation ever. But the opportunities come with threats. That's why so many countries and companies focus more and more on so-called "smart mobility" - developing solutions for faster and more convenient transportation that would reduce the pollution and time spent commuting, as well as will make delivering goods more efficient and sustainable.
Garage48, Latvijas Mobilais Telefons and The Netherlands Embassy bring Garage48 Future of Mobility hackathon to TechChill! This hackathon will aim to create new startups offering innovative ideas in the mobility of people and goods, reducing pollution and maximizing the experience while commuting.
