MAtchUp sponsors the “Special UPV Challenge” mentoring price that was awarded to the members of the VeLOCK student collective last November in the seventh edition of the ‘UPV Challenge Ideas’. The winning idea presents parking and recharge service for personal mobility devices such as electric scooters.

This entrepreneurial initiative by VeLOCK offers different app-based services. Specifically, VeLOCK co-founder Jorge Sesma states that, apart from these services, they also provide “information on the location and availability of these parking spaces, as well the battery level and other vehicle status notifications”. Sesma clarifies that the idea is currently in an initial stage and that they expect the prototype to be ready for the summer. 

Practitioners from Las Naves,  Kveloce I+D+i, Fent Estudi, ETRA I+D, WITRAC and the Institute for Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM) from the Polytechnic University of Valencia will mentor the winners.
