Innovate and optimize public transport in the Netherlands with MRDH, RET and HTM

Pilot Project, 15K workshop credit, Access to Network Deadline passed

InnOVatieroute is an initiative of HTM, RET and Metropolitan Region Rotterdam The Hague to optimise public transportation facilities. Yes!Delft is working with Get in the Ring as part of this initiative, and looking for startups with innovative solutions that solve the current growth restrictions and fix bottlenecks in the public transport network during peak hours. 

 

The Metropolitan Region Rotterdam The Hague (MRDH) is an urban metropolis comprising 23 municipalities, a population of 2.3 million and employment for 1.2 million. 13.5% of Dutch people work here, representing 15% of the Gross National Product. A major economic center of the Netherlands. Every town and village has an identity of its own but partnerships are forged to strengthen the region’s economy.

 

HTM is the leading mobility company in The Hague. Their focus is on the travelers, the environment and the society for which they work. 

 

RET strives for perfectly organised and executed public transport with the highest quality in Rotterdam.
