On-site phase

 

The jury has chosen 2 of the 7 participant teams. It has been a difficult decision because of the high quality of the proposals. The election has been based on Indra´s values: originality of the proposals, thoroughness of the answers to the challenges, sensibility with our stakeholders and determination towards possible difficulties.
The teams that have reached the final stage are:

 

• Lights ON: They faced the Smart Grids challenge. The team members are from Faculdade de Tecnologia de Sao Paulo + Escuela de Industriales de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
• AEOLUS: They faced UAV Pelícano challenge. The team members are from Escuela de Telecomunicaciones de Universidad Politécnica de Madrid + University of Philipinnes.

In the last stage, each University will work independently, and will face challenges based in our projects about accessible technologies and smart cities.
