Apps should provide solutions to improve transport safety, efficiency and sustainability, make transport systems more comfortable and should focus on the user needs.

The competition is divided into parts: Products and services - which will be presented at the ITS European Congress 2014 in Helsinki next June; and Ideas - which can be developed into an app with the support of Demola Network, an incubator for project development present in five countries.

Applications are open from 9 January to 9 February for the products and services section and 9 January to 7 May for the ideas section.

Developers, start-ups and students who require assistance on working on a new concept can apply until 9 February.
