RATP Dev and INCO have established a prize dedicated to start-ups that promote the development of sustainable mobility. The 2021 edition targets Moroccan start-ups operating in the following sectors: Smart Mobility, Green Mobility, Fast Mobility, Inclusive Mobility.
Sectors
• Smart Mobility
o All mobile apps/websites that manage the relationship between mobility operators and passengers: e.g. (passenger information, disruptions, intermodal transit, journey times, paperless payment, etc.)
o Digital innovations that help people get from place to place and improve the quality of professional and personal travel for commuters.
• Green Mobility
o Projects aimed at making modes of transport more environmentally friendly
o Developing ways of getting around that are beneficial for the health
o Encouraging/facilitating the use of sustainable mobility
o Reducing the side effects of transport (noise pollution, air pollution, etc.)
• Fast Mobility
o Projects aimed at reducing traffic and congestion at peak times in major regions
o Reducing the need for motorised travel
o Solutions for grouping commuters together and reducing dependency on private cars
• Inclusive Mobility
o Projects aimed at providing mobility in rural/mountainous areas.
o Limiting the risks associated with transport costs, increasing the availability and accessibility of public transport for all (e.g.: even the most remote districts must have access to transport, trams, etc.)
o Providing access to transport for people with special needs.
International visibility and support from the SPRINT network
RATP Dev and INCO will pre-select 10 start-ups to form the 5th set of winners to receive the support of the SPRINT network. One of those 10 will then be selected to participate in 3 international events, which will take place online and/or face-to-face depending on the public health measures in effect at the time: VivaTech (Paris), Futur.e.s in Africa (Casablanca), and the Francophonie Summit (Tunis).
Selection Phases
• An application review phase: validation of the eligibility of the applicants and preselection of 10 start-ups following an analysis of the submitted projects and their innovative character, economic model, and social impact.
• A committee will then convene an online session to select the winner of the 2021 Sustainable Mobility Award.
