As part of the ECONNECT cooperation program with the Ile-de-France Region, co-financed by the Agence Française de Développement, the Autonomous District of Abidjan is launching an ambitious call for projects focusing on urban mobility.

eCONNECT IN BRIEF

As part of its international strategy, the Île-de-France region aims to strengthen the ties that unite many of its residents with their countries of origin, and to promote reciprocal economic development by leveraging the region's expertise in its cooperation projects. La Région Île-de-France a conçu avec quatre de ses collectivités partenaires le projet « ECONNECT, TERRITOIRES NUMÉRIQUES EN TRANSITIONS », whose aim is to strengthen the digital transformation of the Region's partners and their ecosystems by developing structuring actions on this theme. A multi-territorial project, it also aims to share experiences and collectively consolidate successful processes.

Co-funded by AFD - Agence Française de Développement, this program is being deployed jointly by the Île-de-France Region and its partners from the Conseil Départemental de Rufisque, the Casablanca - Settat Region, the Autonomous District of Abidjan and the Commune Urbaine d'Antananarivo, with the support of L'Institut Paris Région and Cap Digital.

This call for projects offers the selected winner :

• An experiment financed to the tune of €50,000;
• A 6-month period to develop a prototype of a digital urban mobility solution;
• And the enhancement of a collaboration with the Autonomous District of Abidjan and its partners.
• We thought this collaboration opportunity might be of interest to you.

Phe aim of this experiment is to develop a digital solution for collecting mobility data, processing it efficiently and using it to improve urban usage.

The call is open to any company capable of responding to the problem presented. However, only Ivorian companies, or consortia comprising at least one Ivorian company, may apply. Consortiums may include Ile-de-France companies for complementary skills.

The call for projects will be open for applications from Monday January 20 at 10am (GMT+1) to Friday February 28 at 6pm (GMT+1).
