Player 0A mobile app that nudges football fans towards greener match-day travel with tracking and rewards.CEiiAPorto PT · São Paulo BR
Problem
How might monitoring, valuing and trading avoided emissions nudge football fans into mobility habits that cut CO2, spread socially and last, with visible value for supporters and clubs?
What they built
Player 0 offers personalised route planning, real-time emissions tracking, carpooling options and a gamified system of challenges and rewards. Details of the solution are under non-disclosure agreement.
Impact
Long-term visibility of impact, conscious mobility choices, shared social experiences and incentives for sustainable practices.
AdaviseA redesigned in-car interface that teaches drivers in France and China to use driving-assistance systems.ValeoParis FR · Shanghai CN
Problem
Many French and Chinese drivers never learned to use driving assistance. Some do not know it exists, others distrust it or cannot decode English acronyms, so it stays off.
What they built
Adavise brings assistance functions to the driver instead of hiding them: a visual gallery with clear descriptions, dashboard recommendations and a gamified reward system with an online community.
Impact
Drivers reconnect with the functions that can save their lives, in the simplest and most attractive way possible.
SPOD ConnectAn electric transport system combining the comfort of a car with the efficiency of public transport.SUMMITDublin IE · São Paulo BR
Problem
How might future urban mobility balance sustainability and convenience? 1.5 billion people still choose private cars for privacy, comfort and reliability.
What they built
The SPOD is a hybrid: the comfort and convenience of a car with the eco-friendliness and efficiency of a public transport system.
Impact
Zero exhaust emissions and 90% less CO2 than a private diesel car. Six SPODs fit in the space of one car, easing congestion.
CircuitAn app and in-car extension that plan and accompany seamless road trips in an electric Porsche.PorschePotsdam DE · Karlsruhe DE
Problem
With the Taycan, Porsche enters the electric market and user experience matters as much as technology. How might customers of an electric Porsche enjoy a seamless experience?
What they built
CIRCUIT recommends trips to personal taste, books tables and charging stops, transfers everything to the in-car system during the drive and keeps photos and driving statistics afterwards.
Impact
Less planning and no range fear, so owners drive more. Shared memories advertise Porsche and strengthen loyalty.
FlinkA digital information hub that gives Swiss travellers personalised, cross-provider mobility information.SBBSt. Gallen CH · Linköping SE
Problem
Mobility providers in Switzerland are poorly connected and there is no central information source, so travellers cannot use the options that exist.
What they built
Flink delivers customised information streams for 2.8 million commuters, helps plan and optimise multimodal journeys and offers fast alternatives when something goes wrong.
Impact
All information before, during and after a journey, with subscriptions managed in one place and proactive alerts.
Safe SpaceA product family that lets cyclists, scooters and buses warn each other through sensors and connectivity.ValeoParis FR · Mannheim DE
Problem
Denser city traffic and new mobility types demand more attention from drivers. Valeo asked how to enhance the mobility experience in smart cities with its resources.
What they built
Vulnerable road users and heavy vehicles equip themselves with a Safe Space device. Sensors and connectivity exchange contextual warnings in real time.
Impact
Less stress and fewer misunderstandings on the road. The data can help municipalities improve infrastructure.
RenoruAn autonomous ride-sharing interior with translucent partitions and lost-item detection.RenaultTrondheim NO · Kyoto JP
Problem
Create a safe, comfortable ride-sharing experience in a fully autonomous vehicle. The team focused on psychological safety and cleanliness.
What they built
Renoru separates passengers with translucent partitions, shows location and arrival time on screens, and uses infrared image comparison to detect lost items and judge whether the car can continue.
Impact
Ride-sharing advances without losing its appeal: riders see each other while keeping their own space.
FlemoA car-sharing concept where each customer defines their own private sharing community and conditions.AUDISt. Gallen CH · Modena IT
Problem
Mobility and community thinking are changing. Audi wants to address mobility and connectivity through community services that bind customers.
What they built
Flemo combines community, connectivity and mobility. Users decide with whom, when and under which conditions they share, meeting the needs for flexibility and control.
Impact
Car sharing that fits single households, families, students, neighbourhoods and companies alike, instead of one model for all.
Airport 2040An airport concept with personal shuttles that handle check-in, authentication and baggage en route.EADSParis FR · Potsdam DE
Problem
Airports are the weak link of air transport, optimised for flow rather than passengers. The Friendly Airport of 2040 must suit all travellers and remain viable.
What they built
Personal airport shuttles carry families, business travellers and impaired passengers from arrival to take-off, with authentication, check-in and baggage handled on board.
Impact
Baggage stays with the passenger, and a central airport centre with decentralised skygates shortens the way.
