Do you have a good idea for an Electromobility service or think of creating a novel smart service that could change the way we deal with issues related to Electric Vehicle (EV) charging and use?
You now have the chance to share your already developed Electromobility Services or fire up your creativity for innovative applications through the NeMo Hackathon that runs virtually until May 2019.
Bring your ideas to the table and join the NeMo Virtual Hackathon today!
The EU-funded NeMo project organizes a virtual Hackathon aimed at the developer community.
The NeMo project creates a Hyper-Network of new and existing tools, models and services, which provides seamless interoperability of electromobility services, creating an open, distributed and widely accepted ecosystem for electromobility. The NeMo Hyper-Network is a distributed environment with open architecture based on standardised interfaces, in which all electromobility actors, physical (e.g. CP, electricity grid, EV’s) or digital (e.g. CPO’s, DSO’s, EMP’s, EV owners, etc.) can connect and interact seamlessly, in order to exchange data and to provide more elaborate e-mobility ICT services in a fully integrated and interoperable way for both B2B and B2C. The connection is based on dynamic translation of data and services interfaces according to the needs of the specific local scenario and the involved stakeholders.
The goal of the NeMo Hackathon is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Hyper-Network open tools for service creation, asking external developers, start-ups, service and application providers or other entrepreneurs and students to develop innovative electromobility services (i.e. web/mobile applications, B2C apps), either completely new or combining existing services provided/published in the NeMo Hyper-Network.
The specific objectives of the Hackathon are to:
The Hackathon invites participants to come up with new ideas and apps (web/mobile, B2B and B2C) and other services for promoting Electromobility deployment with the usage of the:
For further details see the NeMo website.
The proposed services/apps must be relevant to electromobility and must meet the basic project objectives. Innovators are specifically asked to:
Potential participants are invited to declare their interest to join the NeMo Hackathon by sending a short description of their idea (approx. 1000 words) and an architecture diagram (pictures/graphs/videos, etc.), to hackathon@nemo-emobility.eu by 10 April 2019.
All proposals will be evaluated by the Hackathon Jury for their relevance to the basic objectives of the competition and their potential to meet the given criteria that are presented in detail below.
By the time the initial proposals are submitted, a series of webinars will be organised to familiarise interested applicants with the functionalities of the Hyper-Network and the NeMo tools for Service Creation.
Three submissions will be selected for implementation by 9 April 2019. The three finalists will have up to 27 of May 00:00 to deliver their final developed applications/services. The finalists will be offered a constant assistance during the second phase of the Hackathon (the development phase) by the group of Mentors.
After final submission, the three finalists will have up to one week to upload their applications to the NeMo Hyper-Network with the help of the NeMo Hackathon Mentors. The applications will be available on the Hyper-Network in time for the 13th ITS European Congress (3-6 June 2019).
A second round of evaluation will follow the ITS European Congress, and the Hackathon Final Winner will be announced by 17 June 2019.
