VGI Challenge: Shape the Future of Mobility

Fancy playing an active role in shaping the future of mobility in our Ingolstadt region? Prove yourself in one of three exciting challenges and win prize money to the value of 10.000€.

Ever dreamed of making a real impact on how people move around in the Ingolstadt region? Now’s your chance! Join the VGI Challenge and help innovate public transport – all while competing for a prize pool of €10,000!

What’s the VGI Challenge?

The VGI Challenge works in a similar way to a hackathon. Geeks, techies, designers, digital nomads and creative minds come together to find innovative solutions to a specific topic in small teams. There are no limits to diversity - any student who wants to be part of something big is welcome. While you normally only have 48 hours to complete a challenge at a hackathon, we give you a whole week. Your team (3-5 people) will tackle one of three public transport challenges. Brainstorm, design, and create solutions to transform mobility. Whether you're into tech, design, or just passionate about transport – we want you!

How it works:

- Kick-Off Event – 8th November: Choose your challenge and form your team at Reimanns (Campus THI).

- The Work Week: You’ll have one full week (not just 48 hours!) to craft your solution. We’ll provide spaces at THI and a support team to help you along the way.

- Final Pitches – 15th November: Present your brilliant idea at Reimanns (Campus THI). A jury will select the best solutions, and winners will take home cash prizes up to €10,000!
