background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">We&rsquo;re living in a world that is constantly changing and the challenges that we are currently facing require bold ideas empowered by technology. 2020 was a tough year and in 2021 we will need, more than ever, inspiring and innovative ideas that can push the boundaries of technology to help us create a better world. &nbsp;<p lang="PT-PT" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">In this Hackathon, we&rsquo;re challenging you and your team to be bold and come up with innovative solutions on Electric Mobility in one of the following areas:&nbsp; &nbsp;Exploit the potential of V2G/V2H applications&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Vehicle to grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-home (V2H) are grid-edge technologies that enable the energy stored in electric vehicles to be fed back into the grid (or home). From the grid point of view this can add flexibility by helping to supply energy at times of peak demand or perform other grid services that enhance the system stability. It can also be associated with decentralized energy systems promoting the integration of renewables in the grid. From the home point of view the applications are mainly on behind-the-meter services and tariff optimization mechanisms. Galp is an integrated mobility solution supplier and, for us, this is very interesting &nbsp;as we see V2G as a next step in electric mobility in which we were a pioneer in Portugal. It&rsquo;s an opportunity to develop new business models around mobility and provide benefits for customers by turning cars, which are 90% of time parked, into sources of revenue. Engaging microgrid and e-mobility users to share data on profiles and patterns &nbsp;&nbsp; Transition to a sustainable electrical system involving significant integration of renewable energy sources is disruptive and requires innovative ways to design, organize and operate. That&rsquo;s where microgrids come into play linking electrical loads and distributed generation sources and being able to operate connected to the grid or autonomously.&nbsp; This new way of operating relies heavily on intelligent control systems and reinforces the importance of data from which you can optimize the system and opens possibility to new business models. In the other hand for business value to be maximized, it is critical that individuals share data on their behaviours and consumption patterns. The interest for Galp is in the creation of business models that leverage on the value of data for delivering new services at no marginal cost to the end user. Designing the right infrastructure for shared electric mobility from bikes to cars&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<p lang="PT-PT" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;"> <p lang="PT-PT" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Many cities have embraced the concepts of mobility sharing and/or micro-mobility in the transition towards smarter and cleaner mobility. However, many initiatives have failed either on the lack of right incentives or the &ldquo;too high&rdquo; costs of infrastructure and/or operational requirements. Could shared physical infrastructures (and related services) exist to fulfil the high requirements of service uptime and availability and lower costs among operators? Blockchain for Mobility - disruptive applications &nbsp;&nbsp; <p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Blockchain has been around for a while now and after an initial hype on the subject, it has not yet managed to be as widespread and disruptive as initially expected. Is there a specific urban mobility application where the use of blockchain is a &ldquo;must&rdquo; and a business differentiator? What would be the service to be deployed within that context?<p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;"> <p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;"> <p lang="PT-PT" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Surprise Us &nbsp;&nbsp;<p lang="PT-PT" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;"> Do you believe you have a brand-new idea in the electric mobility field worth developing?

<h2>🏆 PRIZES 🏆</h2> Galp, GoWithFlow and Microsoft will offer the following selection of prizes: 1st place - 3,000&euro;2nd place - 1,000&euro;3rd place - 1,000&euro; <p lang="PT-PT" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">All members of the 10 finalist teams will get:&nbsp;<ul><li lang="PT-PT" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">A selection of SWAGs from Microsoft (Azure socks, stickers and an exclusive backpack) &nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li lang="PT-PT" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Microsoft Certification Exam Vouchers&nbsp;</li><li lang="PT-PT" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Azure Hero Badges&nbsp;</li></ul><p lang="PT-PT" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Each judge has a limited amount of KAI tokens to invest and back the eligible projects. The final result is produced based on the amount of KAIs each project gets.&nbsp; Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 best teams, considering the following criteria: Innovation PotencialIn this area the jury will be evaluating both the team&rsquo;s solution and approach to solving their proposed problem. It&#39;s all about innovative and creative problem solving. Desired solutions should present new, outside the box approaches to solve a problem; new processes and ways to collect or present data; automation of processes; and many other smart, cost-effective, creative means to build smarter and more impactful solutions. Also, this will evaluate how the team&rsquo;s solution differentiates itself from other already existing solutions, how they are unique and different and why they have a chance to thrive. The innovative use of the Microsoft Azure platform and its different features and solutions will also be considered. <p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Problem-Solution Fit&nbsp;<p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Start with defining a clear problem statement (&ldquo;why?&rdquo;) and develop a solution with a clear value proposition (&ldquo;how&rdquo;). Value propositions can be delivered in terms of productivity improvement, cost reduction, enhanced safety and more. The jury will evaluate this aspect of the proposal on if there is a clear problem/need being solved addressed by the team, and how well the solution presented addresses these aspects.   Progress &amp; Functionality&nbsp;<p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">The jury will be looking at how the team and the project have evolved during the Hackathon. How far the team has gone in implementing their solution, is there a prototype or something tangible? Are the main aspects of their solution implemented as part of the first interaction/MVP/PoC? This evaluation will always take into account the duration of the Hackathon and what can be done in that length of time so that teams tackling big and complex projects will be levelled in the same way as teams that have less complex issues to implement.<p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;"> <p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Solution Alignment with Hackathon Proposed Challenge<p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">The jury will score each team&rsquo;s proposal in terms of how they align to one or multiple of the Hackathon proposed challenges. This should help teams to solve the problem in a more narrow problem space, without being a limitation to the creative process that they should use and excel at. The challenges are open and broad enough to include a lot of different possible solutions and areas of interest to ensure diversity and innovation to fill the event. A team can address multiple challenge spaces at one and not only be focussed on one single challenge space if they prefer. The jury will score this alignment at the early submission to ensure an overall alignment before the work starts.<p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;"> <p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">Pitch Quality and Impact&nbsp;<p lang="EN-GB" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; font-kerning: none; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left;">The jury will score each team&rsquo;s final pitch in terms of its ability to be impactful in the duration given to them for the presentation.&nbsp;
