Wanted – Smart Mobility Project

Living in the countryside is great, but mobility in rural areas is, well…not.

We would love to use digitalisation to improve mobility here in the Hoher Fläming region, one hour south-east from Berlin. The innovative project would be part of the Smart Village project and would be hosted by the Coconat.

There is a very promising grant coming up which supports rural mobility-projects with up to €200.000 and a deadline of April 1st. AND – There is a information event on Thursday, March, 7th 2019, 1pm-3:30pm at the Regionale Planungsgemeinschaft Havelland-Fläming in Teltow, we are happy to share information.

The project should be around using digital solutions for mobility infrastructure-sharing, i.e. fuel & e-cars, push, electric, & cargo-bikes, and/or skooters, shared taxis, and car-pooling. There are great interested potential partners like Bürgerbus Hoher Fläming, Fachdienst Verkehrsmanagement des Landkreis Potsdam Mittelmark, lokale Carsharing Initiative, pampa mitfahren App, drivey and Coconat.

For the project development we would not pay a financial allowance so it´s only interesting if you love to be part of solving the serious mobility problem in the country-side and willing to play a (then paid) role in the later project. If you are exited about taking a central part in an exiting new project please contact janosch@coconat-space.com.

European Space Agency funding for Augmented Reality Hiking Trails!

European Space Agency funding for Augmented Reality Hiking Trails Project Manager!

Deadline of the up to 60k funding is on February 25th.

Keen on Nature and AR? A great opportunity just popped up to start a project using AR mobile technology and satellite navigation to develop an innovative tourism product. The first prototype is supposed to be developed in the frame of the Smart Village project on the International Art-trail which crosses the property of Coconat in Brandenburg/Germany. There are great potential partners (in particular the Naturparkverein Fläming, Coconat, the network Virtual Reality Berlin Brandenburg, and ikusei) and a potential funding from the business development office and a super-cool grant from the European Space Agency!

The project doesn’t have funding yet and needs an enthusiastic person like you to write up the application.

So if you are interested jumping on this horse we are happy to support you with the necessary information and for sure you should play a central role in the upcoming project. If this makes your heart beat faster please give a call to Janosch +491784456882 or send an e-mail to janosch@coconat-space.com
