Mobility Hack/ Hackathon for Public Transport
Mobility Hack was a hackathon organized in 2018 by the CEDIA Network with support of the German Technical Cooperation (GIZ) and the Municipal Mobility Company (EMOV). It was an open call for entrepreneurs and students to develop new ideas and solutions that could contribute to the best use and service delivery of public transport in Cuenca. Registrations were limited to 150 citizens, who during three days participated in workshops and conferences on the challenges of mobility for the city, the generation of business models, management and presentation of projects, among others. As a result of the integration between academia, technology and citizen participation, the requested proposals seeked to contribute to the improvement of public transport services in the city through mechanisms of civic innovation. In 2020, the winners of the first event - Eco-efficient Mobility - assumed the responsibility of organizing a second edition under the name "Hackathon for Public Transport". This time, the hackathon was open to participants from all over the country.
