RACC entrega los premios de la maratón de ideas dedicada a la movilidad de gente mayor, los ciclistas y los peatones

El RACC ha galardonado ParkCalm, un sistema de aparcamiento seguro para bicicletas que aprovecha el espacio libre de parkings subterráneos, a la segunda edición de RACC Innovation Challenge. La maratón de ideas de movilidad dedicada a encontrar soluciones para los peatones, los ciclistas y las persones mayores, se ha celebrado el pasado fin de semana en Barcelona y culminó el lunes 7 de mayo con la presentación de las propuestas.

El jurado, integrado por Josep Mateu, presidente del RACC, Xavier Pérez, Director General del RACC, Marc Cortés, CEO de RocaSalvatella y Julie Chrysler, Directora de Imagine África, ha tenido en cuenta el grado de innovación de las soluciones presentadas, su viabilidad y escalabilidad, y su alineación con los valores del RACC. Un miembro del equipo ganador, integrado por Sandra Costa, Gerard Serra y Nacho Sampere, participará al programa de innovación disruptiva Imagine Express 2019. Por otro lado, el Club analizará todas las propuestas de los equipos para evaluar la posibilidad de incorporarse en sus proyectos de innovación.

El RACC Innovation Challenge forma parte del proyecto del RACC para transformarse en un Club de Servicios a la Movilidad que se adapte a las necesidades de los ciudadanos y que les acompañe en su desplazamiento, ya sea en transporte privado motorizado, en transporte público, a pie o en bicicleta.

Dieciocho emprendedores expertos en innovación, desarrollo y negocios han trabajado de forma intensiva durante 48 horas con el objetivo de encontrar ideas para mejorar la calidad de los desplazamientos a través de la información, los servicios y la asistencia, con el acompañamiento de mentores y expertos en el campo de la innovación y la creatividad.

Los participantes se han desplazado a diferentes puntos como el FabLab Sant Cugat ubicado en la Rambla de la Innovación de ESADE, el MACBA o el Fórum, para trabajar e inspirarse a través de charlas y actividades.

Para el diseño y la organización de esta hackathon, el RACC ha contado un año más con la colaboración de RocaSalvatella e Imagine Creativity Center.

Imagine Bocconi goes for its 3rd edition

8 mayo, 2018 /

The only Italian program in the range of Imagine adventures – Imagine Bocconi – , a fruit of collaboration with the SDA Bocconi Entrepreneurship Club and  Bocconi University in Milan, is about to begin. A 5-day hackathon to generate disruptive innovation through a transformational experience, the program is focused on generating business solutions in the insurance sector. The event takes place during a trip between Milan and Castello Visconteo, May 24-28th. The 21 participants will have the challenge of working in 7 groups of 3 with the goal of generating a business start-up.

 

The big thing about this year’s edition is the new partner – Munich Re. 

Since its foundation in 1880, Munich Re has been characterized by leading risk know-how and a special financial solidity. It provides financial protection to its clients, even from exceptionally high levels of damage, from the 1906 earthquake to the 2017 hurricane series. Today, Munich Re is a leading provider of reinsurance, primary insurance and insurance-related risk solutions. Munich Re is active worldwide and in all insurance segments – it has more than 42,000 employees on all continents. With premium income of around € 32 billion from reinsurance alone, it is one of the world’s major reinsurers.  Munich Re has outstanding innovative strength and is thus able to hedge extraordinary risks such as rocket launches, renewable energies, cyberattacks or pandemics. 

 

 

 

 

Being in constant transformation and following the innovation trends, Munich Re gave Imagine Bocconi the Reinsurance challenge, as it’s a mature business currently at a turning point ready for massive disruption. 

The Dreamers will choose one of the following topics to develop their innovative solutions through Lombard Method:

– How can we break the rules of the reinsurance, insurance and risk management markets?

– How to make the re/insurance market drive value for the end consumer, regardless of whether that is a retail or corporate client?

– How to take the assets & knowledge of the reinsurance market and build something new and beautiful?

– How can a CEO (of Google, Amazon, …) with unlimited skills and resources reinvent the current reinsurance business?

 

We’ll find out the answers on May 28 at the final presentation held in Bocconi. See you soon in Milan!
