How can digital and technological initiatives, products, services or tools help to make travel and mobility more sustainable?

Thank you to all who submitted ideas to the Changemaker Challenge. Unfortunately, none were selected by the team of Judges; but they sincerely thank all the great ideas that came out of this contest. Please follow up with www.changemaker-challenge.com to learn more about what idea was selected. Winners will be announced later in the year. 

It is self-evident that the decision to live more sustainably heavily affects ones travel and mobility habits. Negative effects such as CO2 emission, over-tourism, pollution and overstraining of travel destinations have become the self-induced enemies of our time. We believe that digital and technological solutions can enable a more sustainable future of Travel & Mobility Tech, both by changing the travelers' behavior and the nature of resources.
 

For that reason, this changemaker challenge is looking for ideas on how to boost sustainability in travel and mobility with technology and digitization. Students, early-stage startups and professionals from around the globe are welcome to submit their ideas.
 

*Please note that this challenge is additionally called out by the Lufthansa Innovation Hub on www.changemaker-challenge.com. A submission of your idea is possible either here via the Climate CoLab platform and via the official changemaker challenge landing page.
