VGI Challenge: Innovating public transport in and around Ingolstadt

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:

1. Kick-Off Event – 8th November: Choose your challenge and form your team at Reimanns (Campus THI).
2. 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.
3. 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!
