COLOGNE, Germany, 2019-Aug-27 — /Travel PR News/ — With the launch of the Changemaker Challenge, the Lufthansa Group and its new digital business unit Lufthansa Innovation Hub are aiming to explore the full potential of digitalization in the context of sustainable travel and mobility, focusing not only on aviation, but the entire travel chain. Lufthansa has therefore partnered with three category leaders from the Travel & Mobility Tech ecosystem: Expedia Group, Google, and Uber.
Submitted ideas can range from solutions that make the individual’s ecological impact transparent throughout their journey to those that support sustainable decisions during the booking process and innovative transportation technologies. Early-stage startups, students, and young professionals worldwide are welcome to participate. Starting today, ideas can be submitted online until October 30, 2019.
“Digital innovations can play a pivotal role in the creation of a more sustainable future for transportation. As the field is far from having been explored in all its facets, we are joining forces with three strong industry leaders whose expertise and global reach cover all segments of the travel and mobility chain. Combined with the aviation expertise of Lufthansa Group, our common goal is to understand the field’s overall potential through the specific ideas of creative minds from all over the world,” says Gleb Tritus, Managing Director of the Lufthansa Innovation Hub and one of the judges of the Changemaker Challenge.
Applicants can compete in four different categories:
Expertise along the entire travel chain
The partners of the Changemaker Challenge – Lufthansa Group, Expedia Group, Google, and Uber – have industry knowledge across all areas of the travel journey on a global scale: from planning and booking, through travel and mobility operations, to the experiences and engagement of travelers.
The finalists of the Changemaker Challenge will benefit from this comprehensive expertise during the final pitches in December. During the finals, they will be judged by an expert jury consisting of high-level executives from each company on December 4 at the Lufthansa Group headquarters in Frankfurt (Main), Germany. The event will be part of the “Innovation Forum”, Lufthansa Group’s main global innovation event. Winners will receive prizes worth 30,000 euros.
