We’re Looking For Impatient City-Makers!

Amsterdam’s urban living lab Knowledge Mile is looking for city-makers with green and sustainable ideas to help create a Knowledge Mile Park.

Knowledge Mile, together with partner organizations, is developing, testing and showcasing solutions for a healthy, social and climate-proof living environment. The ambitions are huge — a busy traffic corridor, stretching all the way from Amstel railway station to the IJ tunnel, should have been transformed into an innovative and sustainable Knowledge Mile Park by 2025.

With Boiling Amsterdam we’re offering impatient city-makers to help us make the Knowledge Mile greener and more sustainable. On March 29, a pitch night will be taking place where four city-makers to pitch ideas and get instant funding, combined with lessons and tips from the crowd. The best idea takes up to €2,500. Presenters also receive professional support from the crowd to execute their project.

The upcoming edition of Amsterdam Boiling will take place on March 29, 2018. Send your idea on a one-pager to ideas@boiling.city before February 28!
