Taking place at the Canadian Embassy, Disruptathon features 6-8 companies talking about their disruptive innovations for an audience of 75-100 people. It will be a mix of techies, policy experts, government, and wireless carriers.
Avego’s presentation will include a video demonstration of Avego’s award-winning Shared Transport technology, which uses iPhone and web technology to essentially enable drivers to turn their car into a bus.
Drivers are matched with riders along their way in real time and Avego automatically manages an electronic micropayment transaction at the end of the journey.The system also enables real-time passenger information and includes a comprehensive range of safety features.
If you are interested in attending the event to get a first-hand look at how leading innovations from the U.S. and Canada are helping society reduce energy consumption while building sustainable new businesses, you can get tickets here.
For example, attendees can view a demo of the Galileo Speed Warning (GSW) CARAT Counter system, which uses location-based technology to incentivize safer driving behaviour. The end-product is an in-vehicle device that displays a counter of CARAT points which increments as long as a driver drives within the speed limit, and can later be traded for rewards, such as lower car insurance.
