This event is a briefing by the Department for Transport and Digital Greenwich for prospective bidders to the Gov Tech Congestion Challenge.

The challenge will be live on the GovTech website fron the Monday 13th August, and information is available at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/govtech-catalyst-information

The aim of the competition is to generate creative and innovative approaches to a perennial problem; road traffic congestion.

We are looking to organisations of any size to submit funding proposals which will harness data and use innovative techniques to better understand traffic movement and better manage traffic congestion.

This is phase 1 of a potentially 2-phase competition. Decisions on which ideas to continue funding into phase 2 will be based on demonstrable success during phase 1 .
