Starting a business does not have to be a lonely journey. There might be times when it feels like an endless series of forms, proposals, and late night problem solving. But luckily, we’ve been fortunate to be a part of strong, supportive communities and ecosystems from the start, and we've gained amazing partners along the way. It's time to give them the recognition they deserve: 🚛 EIT Urban Mobility - who are truly helping us make our dreams come true but supporting us on various innovation projects. We are happy to be a part of their ecosystem and for the collaborations that have come into life because of them. We look forward to exploring new horizons together! 🌟 A major shoutout to the YES!Delft Accelerator program. From the start, we found that learning with and from other tech-minded start-ups has made such a difference. The friendships and professional relationships from their program continue to inspire and catching up at their Summer BBQ reminded us of how far we’ve come. 🏢 Every day, we're grateful for our neighbors at B. Amsterdam, where over community lunch, coffee breaks, sales sessions and the famous B Business Run, we share how our challenges and milestones together.  Being surrounded by so much innovation and creativity keeps us inspired every day! 🤝 We're proud to be part of transformative initiatives with our ecosystem partners at DMI-ecosysteem. With them we are taking big steps to connect Dutch cities with market innovation in the domains of mobility, public space and housing. Working together is the best way to ease and speed up the transition to integrating smart solutions in our cities. 🌍 And we’re happy to welcome Alcoi Urban Sandbox as a partner, a city program that is implementing a really novel approach: making the whole city a test-bed for innovation. This progressive mindset allows for solutions to be practiced from day 1 in the right context with the right stakeholders, rather than confining it to a specific area of the city. We’re excited to contribute to the holistic approach that will make Alcoi a forerunner of Smart Cities in Spain! Coding the Curbs Iskandar Tange YES!Delft B.

We’re excited to congratulate our graduating student interns on their outstanding work over the past six months. It’s been a pleasure supervising four talented individuals on their journey to graduation! 🎓 📊 Klai Petkevicius and Max Benningshof from the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, combined their knowledge and skills in an interdisciplinary project. They developed a framework and tool that is going to bring significant value to our company, solution and customers. 🏡 Annabel Nyole, a Urban Studies graduate from the Erasmus University Rotterdam, wrote an insightful thesis on how smart curbside management can enhance urban livability, using one of our Smart Zones as a case study, providing us with fresh perspectives on sustainable urban development. We’re incredibly proud of their achievements and are happy we had the chance to work with them over the past half year. Having young talents and a fresh pair of eyes on board is valuable - and fun. To Klai, Max and Annabel—thank you for your dedication. We’re confident you’ll go on to do great things and make a real impact in your future careers! 🧨💥 To all students interested in graduation internships at the forefront of smart city innovation, feel free to reach out with your ideas!

Last week Iskandar Tange was invited to join the URBCAST podcast to discuss engaging citizens in Urban Mobility. 🎙️ Urban change is often slow and enigmatic. This episode highlights the importance of involving citizens in planning to make sure that their needs are met. 🏙️ Iskandar Tange is discussing his experience with Co-Creation Workshops in the EIT Urban Mobility "Citizens on the Move" program, and Dorota G., a Senior Urban Mobility Expert from Gdansk, is sharing impactful stories from her campaigns on behavior change. Not only is this podcast episode featuring EIT Urban Mobility campaigns, it is extremely European in its essence. With bilingual conversations in English and Polish and hosted from Copenhagen, it’s really shows how urban design and citizen engagement transcend borders. 🇪🇺 Thanks to the amazing host Marcin Wojciech Żebrowski for the invitation. If you're passionate about urban mobility and love podcasts as much as we do, tune in on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/drF-vvP4 #UrbanMobility #Podcast #Urbcast #CitizenEngagement #UrbanDesign #BehaviorChange #EuropeanCities #CodingTheCurbs

How can we make parking space dynamic, recreational, fun? How can space change function in just a few minutes? And what is needed in terms of design to make it multifunctional but also accessible and weatherproof?⛱️🎨🚛 We asked these tough questions to a group of Urban Mobility students from different universities across Europe. Their results were really inspiring to us: From bringing people together through outdoor movie screenings and silent discos, to retractable sunshades and modular playgrounds on wheels, there were a lot of great ideas coming out of the workshop. The “Remaking the Street” Summer School is a great collaboration between EIT Urban Mobility, humankind in Rotterdam and Technical University of Munich. In their approach, they first teach their students online and then have them apply their academic education in the field in the weeks after. When they asked us to participate and host a workshop, we did not have to think twice. 🧑🏻🏫 As Curbside experts, we were able to spend a very sunny afternoon in the OASE Rotterdam last Tuesday - and bring their knowledge and creativity to a test. Their projects wrapped up on Friday and we are excited to judge their final presentations. Best of luck to all the students from here on out! 💥 Also thank you to Annabel Nyole for the great help. She has spent the past months writing her thesis on what role the curb can play in improving liveability and we are happy to have her join on exciting events like this one. 🙌 humankind Coding the Curbs Technical University of Munich Iskandar Tange Jaap Tjebbes Fenja Beeke Günther Lior Steinberg George Liu PhD Mario Raimondi Pruss Simone Aumann Benjamin Büttner Ana R. Marta Nosowicz
