Scaling Up Smart Charging Hackathon May 16 & 17 2024

Scaling Up EV Charging Hackathon

It needs to be faster, smarter, and more creative.

Are you at the start of your career as a level-headed savior of the world, bursting with energy, and eager to help shape the future of sustainable mobility? Then this is your chance! Join our hackathon and delve into three crucial themes that will define the future of electric driving. We are looking for fresh perspectives and sharp minds to join us in breaking through bottlenecks and devising innovative solutions.

What are we going to work on?

Heads and Hands: How can we solve the shortage of skilled personnel in the charging infrastructure chain? From design and planning to execution and maintenance, your ideas can transform the way we work.

Making Decisions Faster: Connecting charging stations is complex and time-consuming. Can you come up with a clever idea to speed up these processes? Think of innovative collaboration models or technical solutions that shorten the turnaround time.

Technology Smart and Simple: From a charging station connection that you assemble like an IKEA cabinet to smart charging with a game or app. Your vision for the next big technological innovation can bring the efficiency and capacity of our charging infrastructure to new heights.

 

Why participate?

5000 euros for the winning team and a platform for you to make a real impact on a greener future. Collaborate with like-minded individuals, meet industry experts, and show what you’re capable of. The best ideas will not only receive recognition but also the chance to become a reality

What are you going to do?

Play seriously with ideas together. You’ll meet new people, discover new opportunities, and be immersed in the challenges of the near future.

Does that sound interesting to you? Then sign up now for our hackathon. Let’s build the charging infrastructure of tomorrow together. This is your chance to be part of the solution. Make your voice heard and power up the future!
