Mission-e-motion: new co-creation platform on electric mobility (by @boardofinno)

There are many good reasons to promote New Mobility.

First and foremost: COMMON SENSE

Common Sense suggests that New Mobility will be electric.

Common Sense also suggests that New Mobility will be a New System.

A new System in which industries that haven‘t intersected in the past

will have to share brains in the future:

In short:

FUTURE MOBILITY meets ENERGY meets SPACE

New Mobility still has a long way to go:

New technologies will have to substantiate.

New concepts will have to prove themselves.

PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO GET CONVINCED

THAT COMMON SENSE MAKES SENSE.

Unfortunately, common sense

doesn‘t appeal to everyone.

Therefore New Mobility

has become a mission.

More precisely:

A mission-e-motion

m-e-m was founded in 2010 to bring companies, institutions & individuals together

in order to come up with fresh ideas and work on new solutions that would help

electric mobility come to life. An interdisciplinary network and a hell of an idea.

WHAT IS mission-e-motion?

Over time word got around that networking

would be the appropriate thing to do when it

came to electric mobility. What a hell of an idea.

Companies suddenly started to like each other

and applied common sense.

* rethinking mission-e-motion *

If common sense suggests that collaborating

with others is the right approach, why wouldn‘t

you just increase the number of „others“?

QUESTION IS:

mission-e-motion seeks to combine

two of today‘s most fascinating topics

when it comes to „what“ and „how“:

ELECTRIC MOBILITY & CROWDSOURCED KNOWLEDGE

IMAGINE THIS:

An eclectic bunch of experts such as designers, engineers,

scientists, economists, architects and artists invest their time,

talent & expertise to co-create the new world of mobility.

Recipe:

1. Employ the masses to help with ideas, knowledge and know-how.

2. Let them come up with new projects or perfect existing ones.

3. Reward them. Voilà: Piece of cake.

Obviously it gets more complicated from here on in.

Does this make sense?

Can it work?

Will it make revenue?

How to start?

Let‘s start with the current status of mission-e-motion:

MISSION: memCHARGE

Intelligent charging system for electric vehicles. Tested and in use since 2009.

CURRENT STATUS: Waiting for a market

MISSION: CleanBeam

Limousine service and/or car-sharing project. Both ideas are currently being pursued and will be launched on a small scale in 2011/2012.Yes, this car is only for show. ;-)

CURRENT STATUS: Idea in motion

MISSION: eRaca

The mission-e-motion racing- and PR-team. Participation in various driving and demonstration events in Austria and Germany.

CURRENT STATUS: Itching

MISSION: eTV

Imagine a Top-Gear-Type TV/online Show that illustrates the opportunities, advantages and capabilities of New Mobility in a fun and educating way. Breakneck insanity & common sense by popular demand.

CURRENT STATUS: Brain Fart I

MISSION: eCity

Find a small town that is poor, underpopulated and desperate. Convince them that transformation into a giant scale test bed would make them rich and famous. A place where future mobility, renewable energy and space planning meet, where companies can test & showcase their technologies & services, and where visitors get educated and learn about the future.

CURRENT STATUS: Brain Fart II

Does this make sense?

Can it work?

Will it make revenue?

How to start?

SO, AGAIN:

To explore all the IF‘s, find out about the WHEN‘s and most importantly discuss

all the WHAT‘s and HOW‘s in order to find out about the DO‘s and DON‘T‘s

so we will be able decide about a YES or NO, a WORKSHOP will be held.

A workshop that will be hosted by mission-e-motion,

organized by Board of Innovation and shaped by YOU

ORGANIZED BY BOARD WHAT? Board of Innovation is an

international office specialized in business model innovation. They

help organizations innovate, and develop new Business Models.

Philippe and Nick are the founders and the creative minds that will

help give mission-e-motion a push. They also both have a „De“

between their first- and surname. mission-De-motion if you will.

Seriously, common sense should tell you that anything

that‘s for free isn‘t really going to get you anything.

WHAT‘S IN IT FOR YOU?

What if you gathered an eclectic bunch of experts such as engineers,

scientists, economists, architects and artists that would invest their time,

talent & expertise to co-create a community which would then co-create

the new world of mobility. What if among that same group of experts

were the people that would make it their mission to bring this thing to life?

WELL, LET‘S NOT APPLY COMMON SENSE

FOR A MOMENT AND IMAGINE THIS:

WHAT IF?
