Millennium Gateway Testbed Challenge Submission
Millennium Gateway Testbed Challenge
Millennium Gateway Testbed Challenge:
Submit Your Idea
Enter for a chance to pilot your idea in a worldclass testbed, engage with City Tech's extensive partner ecosystem, and get your product in front of a larger audience.
Submission Criteria
The Challenge is open to any organization with a technology, product, or idea that needs a physical space to test it out or make it come to life.
Entries will be judged based on readiness, feasibility, understanding of testbed requirements, and uniqueness. Priority will be given to self-financed ideas. Millennium Garages will provide basic electricity, network connectivity, and may offset other installation costs to winning submissions. Candidates will be able to discuss any specific installation requirements of their ideas with City Tech after initial screening.
Please submit only one technology/product/idea per entry.
Participants must select one of two tracks:
Track 1 - Mobility: Pilot your technology that improves parking operations and transforms parking facilities into multi-modal mobility hubs. We’re especially looking for tech-focused solutions around freight and smart infrastructure management of the garage itself.
Track 2 - Pop-Up Drive-In: This track is intended to repurpose the parking garage in creative ways.
Deadlines & Next Steps:
Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis. All entrants will be notified within two weeks of submission. If selected, participants will be invited for a follow-up meeting where they will pitch their product/testbed needs to City Tech Collaborative staff.
