"Why is the concept "smart city" important and what do you expect from the Idea Contest?"
Insights from our Jury Members and Experts:
Arthur Dornburg, Gründer und CEO, m+p E-mobility GmbH
“Electro mobility is for us an integral part of the energy transition and fossil-fuel exit. Successful Smart City Solutions combine and solve these complex challenges economically and demand-based.“
„Elektromobilität ist für uns ein untrennbarer Bestandteil der Energiewende. Erfolgreiche Smart City Solutions vereinen und lösen diese komplexe Herausforderungen wirtschaftlich und bedarfsgerecht.“
Georg-Friedrich Koppen, Head of the Mobility Planning Department, City of Munich
„Smart City has become a synonym for an intelligent and future oriented development of cities. Thus, I expect and hope to encounter innovative and sustainable ideas and solutions that meet the challenges of cities. Especially in the field of urban mobility“.
„Smart City ist inzwischen zum Synonym für die zukunftsfähige, intelligente Entwicklung von Städten geworden; insofern erwarte und erhoffe ich mir Ideen und Lösungsvorschläge, den zukünftigen Herausforderungen an Städte insb. im Bereich Mobilität und Verkehr nachhaltig und innovativ zu begegnen.“
Britta Muzyk, Founder and Chief Journalist, Capscovil
„Smart cities of the future need to grant a lifestyle that is humane, sustainable and desirable; thus they need to be smart in the way information and resources are (re-)used, and equitable in the way solutions like mobility are offered.”
"Intelligente Städte müssen zukünftig einen Lebensstandard garantieren, der menschenwürdig, nachhaltig und erstrebenswert ist. Informationen müssen daher intelligent gesammelt und genützt, Ressourcen geschont und wiederverwendet und Lösungen wie Mobilität für alle gleichberechtigt angeboten werden."
Bernd Bienzeisler, Urban Systems Engineering, Fraunhofer IAO
“If the life in the city should keep or increase its standards, we need real disruptive innovations for our urban mobility.”
„Wenn das Leben in unseren Städten auch künftig lebenswert sein soll, benötigen wir echte Sprunginnovationen bei der urbanen Mobilität.“
Markus Kroner, Innovation Manager, MAN Truck & Bus AG
„Away from consume, towards convenience – the customer of the future pays for the journey/experience to reach his destination, not for the vehicle“.
„Weg von Nutzung hin zum Nutzen – der Kunde der Zukunft zahlt für seine Strecke zum Ziel, nicht für das Fahrzeug selbst.“
Ruth Schawohl and Kilian Kärgel, Strategic Planning, MVG
“In times of constantly changing mobility demands (catchword: “the sharing economy”), Munich´s public transport company MVG combines public transport with other modes of transportation like carsharing and bikesharing in order to reduce traffic volumes, protect the environment and increase the customer satisfaction. We´re looking forward to seeing creative solutions for the mobility challenges to come and are very pleased about our participation."
Marcus Zwick, Head of Innovative Mobility Solutions, Siemens AG
„Smart cities need innovative solutions with sound business cases.”
Dr. Rainer Scholz, Mobility Innovation Group GSA, Ernst & Young
“In the context of “smart” transport infrastructure, "smart" mobility leverages and transforms the urban mobility, for more competitive, sustainable and inclusive municipalities. The core objective is to connect and integrate transport, and other, infrastructure into an interactive “internet of things” and services, with the ultimate aim to use these digital technologies and solve the demographic, social, economic or environmental challenges of a city.”
