First award for Daysk !

We’ve been awarded with the 3rd prize from the smartCATchallenge on Thursday 26th of September.

The challenge is part of the Smart City Hack, an international project that invites entrepreneurs around the world to develop solutions for their cities through open innovation initiatives.
The jury recognised the impact of Daysk’s solution on the collaborative city and the quality of the answer the app was proposing to foster the sharing economy and the promotion of coworking and collaborative spaces in the city.

The prize money was 2000€ and the opportunity to develop partnership with Catalunya’s cities and public services.
