The Smart Seeds Innovation Program brings together multi-disciplinary, young professionals to collaborate and generate solutions for complex infrastructure challenges that face our cities.
Challenges are set by industry leaders across a range of sectors inclusive of water, transport, urban planning and design, building and property, environment, resources, agriculture, energy and more.
The Smart Seeds program has three key focus areas:
Professional development of young professionals and growing leaders - Participants and mentors develop professional skills and networks to open up new possibilities for their careers and organisations.
Interdisciplinary collaboration to inspire new thinking - The program brings together organisations from different sectors and professionals with diverse skills and experience.
Delivery of innovations through industry leadership - Smart Seeds supports the generation, selection, development and implementation through its frameworks, platforms, tools and networks.
Currently, a global initiative Smart Seeds is making its debut in Canberra this year. Ruky Wang a Quantity Surveyor in our Canberra office is participating in the 2017 challenge. Alongside Donald Cant Watts Corke, other companies in Canberra that are participating are: Australia Federal Police, Construction Control, Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development, GHD, King & Wood Mallesons, KPMG, University of Canberra and Veolia.
Canberra participants were assigned into five groups and the assigned challenges are as follows:
1. Reversing the Urban Drift – How can we make regional living more attractive to stop the population drift from regional areas to metropolitan centres?
2. Marketplace for Experience – How do we capture and transfer knowledge and experience between generations?
3. Tindicity – Communication at the Speed of Swipe – How do we cope with the volume of digital information and make good business decisions?
4. Free Water and Utilities for All – How do we make utilities free for all without greedy over-consumption?
5. Public Transport on Demand – How do we utilise Canberra’s public transport system more effectively? Could an on-demand styled service work for Canberra?
Ruky’s team includes six people spanning engineering, consultancy, construction and law enforcement backgrounds. The challenge they chose to tackle was that of: “Public Transport on Demand,” to make public transport in Canberra more demand responsive by utilising emerging technology.
The team will be making their pitch to a panel of judges on Thursday 29 June and a winner will be announced. Good luck Ruky!
