Bolt Academy is launching a new competition aimed at promoting
innovative ideas in road safety and urban infrastructure among
young people. The initiative provides creative students and young
individuals with an opportunity to present their ideas and turn
them into real projects.
As part of the competition, students from universities and
vocational schools can submit ideas focused on improving road
safety and the urban environment. Selected projects will be
presented to experts and a wider audience, and further developed
with mentorship support.
According to a Bolt representative, the main goal of the
initiative is to encourage young people to take a more active role
in safety-related topics and help transform their ideas into real
solutions.
“Road safety is shaped not only by technology, but also by
people’s mindset and behavior. Through this initiative, we aim to
give young people the opportunity to share their ideas and
contribute to making cities safer.”
Participants in the program will benefit from:
- the opportunity to present their ideas to a wide audience and
potential investors; - mentorship and practical guidance from industry
professionals; - exploration of opportunities to implement selected projects in
real life.
The competition consists of three stages. In the first stage,
the top 10 most promising ideas will be selected from all
applications. These teams will present their projects at a safety
event taking place on May 14 at Sea Breeze.
In the second stage, a jury will select the top 3
projects. These teams will further develop their ideas in
collaboration with Bolt Academy.
In the final stage, selected participants will receive
individual mentoring sessions, and opportunities for turning their
ideas into real projects will be explored.
Those interested in participating can apply by May 12, 2026, by
emailing [email protected] and
