- During the European Green week, Sofia held a virtual three-day hackathon, where it challenged teams from high schools, universities and startup companies to ideate and prototype ways to make Sofia’s urban mobility smarter and greener.
- The winners of the hackathon was a team of avid bicyclists who are annoyed of Sofia lacking an infrastructure of safe and convenient bike lanes. They developed a mapping tool that helps cyclists to find the best routes, to rate them and to share experiences.
