The project website will have information about the open innovation process that will bring together digital solutions developers to improve public transport in Teresina.
February 2, 2021, Teresina, Brazil: The project "Transport Observatory: Blockchain technology for the transparency of Teresina's public transport" launched its website! https://observatoriodotransporteteresina.org/
The website will share the opening of the call to invite interested participants to this open innovation process that aims to develop digital solutions to solve key problems identified in the management of the transport system. The conditions of participation and other information about the project will also be detailed on the website.
The open innovation process aims to mobilise an ecosystem of multidisciplinary actors to develop a pilot project terminating in a proof of concept (POC). This POC will allow the Municipality to expand the solution on a city scale through a process of scaling up.
The proposed solutions should be digital, including a gender approach and climate change mitigation strategies.
