Your Ideas Could Shape Future Cities March 11, 2010

How will we move around in the cities of the future? How could automotive mobility in today's cities be improved? The BMW Group is currently looking for your answers to these questions. So, while your innovation batteries are fully charged from thinking of great designs for the MINI Countryman Center Rail competition, how about another idea contest to keep your thinking muscles working? The best part, of course: more prizes! Instead of asking you for a product design, the BMW Group Idea Contest is all about services. The theme: "Tomorrow's Urban Mobility Services." The task: dream up solutions for services in the area of automotive mobility to improve the urban centers of the future. Submit your ideas on their Co-Creation Lab online platform. If you submit one of the three best ideas, you will be rewarded with a snazzy prize like a BMW portable navigation device for your car, or an iPod touch - for when you're on the move in the futuristic urban jungle. Better hustle though...the final deadline for submissions is Friday, April 16th, 2010. Then look out for the announcement of winners on April 30th.
