EQUIP AUTO Hackathon: Inventing the future of the automobile together
Faced with climatic, technological and industrial challenges, the automobile of the future must meet the growing demands for intelligent mobility, environmental sustainability and technological sovereignty. This hackathon invites you to develop concrete, innovative and responsible solutions around 6 major challenges.
6 challenges to explore!
Challenge 1. Autonomous, shared and inclusive mobility
How can we make mobility more intelligent, accessible to all, and adapted to tomorrow’s needs? Propose solutions for autonomous vehicles and shared services, designed for social and territorial inclusion.
Challenge 2. Energy challenge: electrification, hydrogen, sobriety
Reducing the carbon footprint of the transport industry requires strong energy choices. Explore the possibilities of electrification, the use of hydrogen, and energy sobriety through sober and resilient solutions.
Challenge 3. New sustainable materials
Eco-design is at the heart of automotive innovation. Imagine alternative, recyclable, bio-sourced or low environmental impact materials for tomorrow’s vehicles.
Challenge 4. Responsible production & supply chain - remanufacturing
Towards a circular industry: how can we rethink automotive production and logistics to limit waste, recover resources and integrate sustainable reverse logistics and remanufacturing processes?
Challenge 5. Technological reappropriation (AI, IoT, cybersecurity)
The connected car poses new technical and ethical challenges. Create sovereign solutions integrating artificial intelligence, connected objects and cybersecurity, while retaining control of data.
Challenge 6. Social and ethical acceptability
Innovation cannot succeed without public support. Propose human-centered, ethical and transparent approaches that address the social, cultural and environmental concerns associated with the automobile.
