polisMOBILITY startupPITCH 2024

namowo's vision is to integrate sustainable mobility into the property industry at a low threshold. With automated location analyses and suitable proposals for measures, we develop mobility concepts quickly and efficiently in order to optimise the number of parking spaces. We rely on uncomplicated, digital processing for the preparation of reports. For more sustainable mobility options at residential locations and more liveable cities.

Problem & Solution: All journeys begin and end at home. However, how we travel these routes is not decided anew every day, but is based on routines. Which routines we choose depends on the opportunities that our place of residence offers us. No matter how much a municipality invests in cycle paths, if there is no convenient and safe place to park a private bike at home, we will opt for the car again. The private car can be parked dry in the underground car park, but the next car-sharing vehicle is parked hundreds of metres away in the rain. Due to the regulations of the parking space statutes, building owners often have little choice as to which parking spaces and mobility options they create. They also lack the technical expertise to draw up mobility reports that can be used to integrate sustainable mobility into residential construction.

namowo wants to help resolve these contradictions and make cities more liveable. To this end, namowo analyses the residential locations in a highly automated manner, evaluates the traffic development and generates proposals for measures that are recorded in mobility concepts. These concepts can be attached to the planning application in order to reduce the number of parking spaces to be built and provide residents with more alternative means of mobility.

With Senf.app, we want to rethink digital participation in urban and mobility planning. As an interdisciplinary team from Cologne with backgrounds in urban planning, design, IT and business, we are working to make participation intuitive and inclusive. Our digital solution is designed to make public participation in urban planning projects efficient and simple. With the help of innovative formats, we actively involve citizens and other stakeholders and gather relevant insights for collaborative urban development. Ideas, feedback and opinions can be shared very easily via dialogue cards and interactive surveys.

Problem & Solution: Cities and rural areas are facing major transformation processes such as the energy and mobility transition, climate adaptation and the revitalisation of city centres. An important component for a successful transformation is the participation, acceptance and co-operation of local citizens. However, current participation formats are often not very attractive. With Senf.app, we are taking citizen participation to the next level. With an intuitive interface, an interactive map and geo-based surveys, we enable the low-threshold participation of all citizens in urban planning projects. In addition, AI-supported data analysis and automated reports enable efficient evaluation. In this way, we increase the acceptance of planning projects and provide more insights that enable better decisions in urban planning.
