Four innovative solutions were selected from this year\u2019s application round of the Tallinnovation smart city competition, organized in cooperation of the Science Park Tehnopol and the City of Tallinn. The winners were road safety sensors, solar-powered luminaries, drones for rescue operations and an innovative package recycling solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions proposed for the 2021 Tallinnovation contest were at a high level and the competition was intense. As many substantial ideas were submitted, twelve proposals qualified to the presentation round instead of the planned eight. From these, four winners were selected that will be supported. In the selection process, the novelty of the innovation, the practical necessity as well as their potential of the solutions for cooperation with the City of Tallinn were taken into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winners were Thinnect, KrattWorks, Solintel and MyPak Solutions. Thinnect\u2019s sensors provide an overview of traffic and noise levels of a certain area, thus improving traffic safety. KrattWorks offers drones with a special solution for law enforcement, rescue and firefighting operations. Solintel manufactures smart solar-powered hybrid streetlights. Mypak Solutions offers an innovative Ringo package recycling service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
