An urban hackathon dedicated to Smart City and AI solutions.
Participants work in teams on four areas:
- Tourism
- Ecology
- Mobility
- Accessibility
Approximately 30 participants participated in the event, working in five teams:
KRK Vision, KaucjApp, NTT, EcoFlow, and Loka Kraków.
All teams reached the finals. The results were as follows:
• 1st place – KRK Vision
• 2nd place – KaucjApp
• 3rd place tied – NTT and Loka Kraków
Briefly about the projects:
• KRK Vision – an application for direct communication between residents and the city to report infrastructure problems
• KaucjApp – a solution supporting the deposit refund system for packaging and improving the circulation of recyclable materials
• NTT – an analytical tool (Google API) for monitoring the occupancy of restaurants and public places in real time
• EcoFlow – a system recommending more eco-friendly routes based on the user's driving style
• Loka Kraków – an intelligent guide creating personalized city routes
During the hackathon, participants were supported by three mentors:
• Urban solutions and Smart City infrastructure
• Process automation, backend, and user flows
• Business strategy, monetization, and pitch preparation
Additionally, I invited a professor from the Krakow University of Technology, who led a lecture and workshop for the participants.
