Citython Amsterdam

Featured image

We are pleased to announce the next #Citython edition, to be held online from 28 October to 6 November 2020 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

A Europe-wide initiative that will bring together experts in urban planning, sociology, engineering, data science and business creation to bring innovation to the key challenges facing our cities today: smart mobility, sustainability and safety.

Do you want to come up with ideas that will change the future of our urban spaces?

Are you keen to work on Amsterdam's mobility challenges during a 10-day online hackathon that brings together an international group of creative and inquisitive minds?

Read more on the three challenges at hand and how to join!

EIT Urban Mobility - a European initiative in which the City of Amsterdam and AMS intsitute are partners - brings together cities, universities, research centres and industry, to work jointly on mobility innovations and make cities more liveable, is organizing as part of its core activities, its third 2020 Citython (online) organized together with CARNET (an initiative coordinated by CIT UPC) and the City of Amsterdam.

This year's focus of the Citython will be on how to tackle sustainable mobility with the use of digital tools. The competition is open to all European citizens with a background in urban mobility and planning.
This Citython will be held in the city of Amsterdam, and is focused on mobility optimization. Our society is shifting towards a digital world, and for this new Citython edition, the aim is to create virtual tools and minimize physical solutions, which are usually expensive and hard to maintain. In a city where bikes are one of the main transport modes, we are also betting for sustainable solutions.

The three challenges for the Amsterdam Citython are:

Green & efficient deliveries for a better neighborhood - Devise a solution for a more efficient – and preferably emission-free – supply of goods and services in busy neighbourhoods in the city. The liveability of the neighbourhood should be considered as well as the consequences (financial or otherwise) for the customer of the goods or services.

Park that bike right – Design a solution that improves bike parking, being the emphasis on influencing behaviour and/or on small technical or physical solutions; not using for bike parking facilities or other large and physical solutions.

Journey simulator - Devise a journey simulator for the Amsterdam Area’s mobility network that focuses on (potential) accessibility issues encountered during journeys. The simulator needs to be kept up to date and passengers must be able to deliver feedback.

Participants will have to work on their solutions until 6 November, when the final ideas will be presented to the jury. During the hackathon days, all groups will have the opportunity to attend individual online mentoring sessions to get feedback on their work and take part in a co-creation and collaboration environment.

There will be one winning team for each city challenge (three winning teams in total), and each of them will receive a financial award of 1.500 €.

How to join?
You can register for this event here. Registration deadline: 28 October - 18:00 CEST. For more information: Citython website.

Startup in Residence Amsterdam launches a new programme on the themes of sustainability and mobility!

Registration closes on August 11, 2020.

The City of Amsterdam is once again looking for the best start-ups, scale-ups, innovative SMEs, and social entrepreneurs with creative and innovative solutions for the city’s mobility and sustainability issues. Solutions are sought for a wide range of topics, from 'emission-free recreational boats' and 'circular renovation' to 'inclusive mobility' and 'local food logistics'. Like previous years, this edition also has the so-called "wild card challenge" for both themes. If entrepreneurs have good ideas and solutions that are not described in one of the issues, they can register for the wildcard. The complete series of challenges can be found at www.startupinresidence.amsterdam

Impact Report Startup in Residence

It has been four years since we started the Startup in Residence Programme. A
programme with the aim of making “procurement” of products and services by the
government more accessible for small parties and to boost the start-up
ecosystem.

The programme has seen tremendous growth and development since
its inception. Something to be proud of, because the effect of the programme on the
organisation(s) is significant.

In the impact report, you can read everything about the development of Startup in Residence and what we want to do next.

Enjoy reading!
