\nJanuary 2021 – <\/b>Six solution ideas were announced as finalists
\nfor the City Architecture for Tomorrow Challenge (CATCH) program. The Toyota Mobility foundation (TMF)<\/a>
\nlaunched CATCH in February 2020 with a global call for dynamic, intelligent and
\ndata-driven solutions to address mobility and city planning challenges in Kuala
\nLumpur. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/Images\/Thumb\/500x0\/120499\/Toyota.jpg#image-120499\")
<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nDespite the continuing impact of COVID-19, the CATCH program progressed
\nthrough the application stage in May, receiving over 90 entries from 20+
\ncountries. Then the Semi-Finalist stage finished in December. In this stage with
\ntremendous support and insights from our strategic and data partners, the Semi-Finalists
\nobtained an understanding of Kuala Lumpur’s mobility issues for their Proof of
\nConcept (PoC) development over a 6-week period. An esteemed panel of 8 judges
\nfrom various fields of expertise such as government, sustainable mobility,
\nventure capital, technology, and industry virtually assessed the 16 Semi-Finalists.
\nAfter careful consideration and based on the feedback from the judges, TMF
\nidentified six teams as Finalists rather than five teams as originally planned.
\nThe following six teams are deemed to be best suited to CATCH’s problem
\nstatement and the five assessment criteria of creativity, feasibility,
\nsustainability, desirability and technicality. These teams will be asked to
\nfurther develop their MVPs, and at this stage each will receive a grant of US$125,000
\nof financial support to drive testing and implementation of intelligent
\ndata-driven, connected solutions, aimed at a more efficient, innovative, secure
\nand sustainable city of Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n

\nimplemented to ease congestion and disperse traffic more effectively.”<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nIr. Dr.Karl Ng, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC)<\/b> commented: “These
\nentries show how amazing such innovations can be produced, and even thrive,
\nwhen data is readily made available.”<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nPras Ganesh, Director
\nof Programs of TMF<\/b> commented: “CATCH was designed to grasp ground breaking innovations,
\nand we were impressed by the ideas of 16 strong Semi Finalists who showcased new
\ndata driven mobility and city planning focused solutions. \u00a0Though it was very difficult to narrow down
\nthe selection, as Toyota Mobility Foundation, we are very excited about the six
\nFinalists and what they can deliver in the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) stage
\nto improve the quality of life of the residents of Kuala Lumpur.”<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nThrough CATCH, TMF strives to unlock human-centric, data-driven
\ninnovations toward Toyota’s mission of ‘Producing Happiness for All’ through ‘Creating Mobility for All’ for residents
\nof Kuala Lumpur. \u00a0Moreover, TMF hopes to
\nutilize the insights gained through this challenge to solve mobility issues in
\nother regions and countries in the future.<\/p>\n
