2.4 You can choose to develop a product or service in one of the underneath categories:
Category A: Transform your pushchair into....
After 3-4 years of usage the current Joolz Day is often sold on the second hand market or is disposed.
We would like to challenge you to come up with practical and realistic solutions to transform the
pushchair / parts of it into new products. In this category you can focus on the chassis, and the fabrics,
or both!
Category B: Connect your pushchair
The Internet care of Things is one of the key developments at the moment. Products become smart, get
sensors and will be connected to broadband Internet. Next to this the global access to broadband
(wireless) is increasing rapidly in the next 3-5 years. What new opportunities for products and services
do you see for Joolz? Think of smart & connected pushchairs or pushchair accessories...
Category C: Products and services for those who are less fortunate
Joolz wants to enable all young families to live positive life. Also those families with an income of just
a few U$ per person per day. What product or service can we develop for them? Think of physical
products and/or digital services (and maybe even local 3D print facilities?).
