.

.

What we do

Urban Entrepreneurs is designed to create an urban transversal vision through a series of events bringing together entrepreneurs, designers, developers, academics and corporates to explore new solutions to address these urban challenges. The mission is to foster new ideas in order to co-create, prototype and produce solutions for a better urban future.

The project focus on three major themes:

  1. Mobility & Transportation
    • Low environment impact transports

    • Traffic & mobility optimization 

    • Smart urban mobility

    • Shared mobility

  2. Energy & Environment
    • Green, sustainable and self energies

    • Waste management 

    • Air pollution monitoring 

    • Water resources management

  3. Food & Agriculture
    • Food production 

    • Food safety & traceability

    • Low environmental impact agriculture

    • Smart distribution 

It's a three steps project:

  1. Ideation workshops are run in Switzerland and Asia to foster the emergence of new ideas and projects around the three topics. The projects will be submitted to a jury of experts that will select the most impactful ones from each participating city.
  2. The winning teams will be invited to take their idea to the next level at the Lift Prototyping Lab to be held in Geneva during the first quarter of 2017. They team will go from idea to prototype all the way to market testing in the course of three days with the support of experts.
  3. Exhibitions of the selected projects in Geneva, Shanghai, Bangalore and more to be confirmed.
