At etrans we recently launched an open competition looking for app ideas that can make the electric car smarter, safer and more fun.
One of the strategic areas I have had my focus on since I started as innovation consultant at etrans was ‘Smart Data’, investigating how the intelligent e-cars can become more attractive than the gasoline driven ones by looking into the possibilities when combining the e-car with traffic data, navigation, wifi, smart phones etc.
The competition appsogelbiler.dk (apps & ecars) is rewarding the 3 best ideas in 3 categories with 25.000 DKK - and before you click through let me just say it’s all in Danish (etrans is working to get the Danes to love the e-cas).
I am hoping we get a bunch of creative and innovative concepts before the 1st of december deadline that our very competent jury can evaluate. The jury consists of:
Henrik Werdelin, Managing Partner at Prehype with a background from MTV Intl. Joost and Hotpotato and specialized in innovation and digital startups and focusing on user experience
Morten Just, Interaction Designer at Google. Previously worked with Adobe, Vodaphone and ZYB and develops new quirky apps in his sparse free time.
Christiane Vejlø, Digital trend expert and editor at Electronista.dk after having worked for 10 years with innovation in broadcasting and telephone industry.
Bo Borbye Pedersen, myself, innovation consultant and sr. designer at etrans with a background in user centered design and innovation, etc…
Please help spread the word to anyone you know who might be interested - and can understand Danish!
The constructor’s design challenge.
The Oregon Manifest is a competition to design and build the ultimate moderne utility bike. Participants include design teams from IDEO, Fuse Project and Ziba. This will be interesting to follow. The whole thing goes down September 23-24.
![The picture shows Siren Elise Wilhelmsens project Developing Time - Time Developing which won this years ‘Time to design’ competition, put on my The Danish Art Workshops, Normann Copenhagen, Linkup and TA. The winning project by the Norwegian designer is a clock that knits 48 meshes per day, and produces one two meter long scarf per year. Will be interesting to see how she will develop this further during her 3 month residency at the workshops. Jesper once again represented Linkup in the jury and I gave a hand designing the invite[pdf link].](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l81dvbuYJN1qbcp76o1_500.jpg)

Here’s a few impressions from the Laser Works competition last week, where I was in the Jury for Linkup. View other shots at Flickr.
Build a sculpture, a piece of art, a model, machine or a piece of furniture which tests the potential for the use of new prototype technology. Each team had 5m2 of plywood, free use of our lasercutters and 24 hours over the course of two weeks. Arranged by Republikken and KEPS, Copenhagen.
What can you make with 5 m2 plywood, a laser cuter and 24 hours?
Up for the challenge? Then join the competition at KEPS/Republikken on June 11. Preregister/qualify may 17. I will be representing Link UP in the jury along with DAC, Index: & CITA. Excited to see what will come out of it.
The competition Link UP is doing together with the Danish Art Worshops, Normann Copenhagen and OeO is now open. Deadline for your chance to win a sponsored (Dkk 50.000) stay at the workshop and a solo Exhibition at Normann is June 16.
