Otis India, a subsidiary of Otis Worldwide Corporation, has announced the theme for its 5th annual global Made to Move Communities challenge: “Developing Urban Mobility Solutions Using AI.” This year’s competition aims to foster innovative and sustainable mobility solutions leveraging the power of artificial intelligence.

Over 250 students from 15 countries will participate in the challenge, guided by Otis mentors. They will propose AI-driven solutions to improve urban mobility and create a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Sebi Joseph, President of Otis India, emphasized the transformative potential of AI in addressing mobility challenges and creating resilient solutions for communities.

Otis also announced the winners of the 4th edition of the challenge. A team from Bharat Mata High School in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, was recognized for their “Go-Green” proposal, which focused on expanding access to green spaces and promoting well-being.

Since its inception in 2020, the Made to Move Communities challenge has engaged over 750 students and hundreds of Otis colleagues worldwide. Participating schools have received nearly $1 million in grants to support STEM education.

This year, for the first time, the four regional winning teams will compete in a final round to determine a global team champion. The global champion will receive an additional grant for their school.
