What is Ideathon?
 
New ideas are the source of innovation. We need new perspectives and ideas for development. In order to reach the ideas of large groups and to combine different information into innovative ideas, new idea generation tools and platforms such as ideathons are becoming more common day by day.
Ideathons are Open Innovation events held in 1-2 days, where participants come together to produce innovative ideas and applicable solutions in a thematic area. In ideathons, which involve an intense brainstorming and knowledge sharing process, participants work in teams.
In order to be able to handle the theme from different dimensions, in the ideathons where interdisciplinary work is prominent, people with different education, experience, age and interests take part in the teams, resulting in more innovative ideas.
Ideathons, where expert mentors intensify the sharing of ideas and information by supporting the teams, also have a competition dimension where the innovative ideas revealed by the teams are rewarded as a result of the jury voting.
 
BEST For Mobility Theme: 
 
Today's problems such as the effects of climate change, air pollution, energy security and energy cost have increased the importance of sustainable mobility.
