The idea of Plogg-In was born and created in Reykjavík CityHack 2018, where the team was placed in the top 3 teams and has since been working with the Smart City Reykjavík.
The Big Plogging day was held in Iceland on April 28, 2019 with over 1000 registrations. In just one day the ploggers cleared an area that was about the size of the Westman Islands (17.2 km2).
The Gögn-In project won the Million Tonne Challenge hosted by the Icelandic Chamber of Commerce.
Gögn-In won the Reykjavik CityHack 2019 competition with an idea on how to optimize the Icelandic bus timetable by incorporating timetable data from all schools in Iceland.
Plogg-In participated in the social accelerator Snjallræði 2019, where the team received guidance from experts from MIT-Design X as well as other mentors in creating a business model for Plogg-In.
The team presented B-In and Plogg-In on the Smart City Expo 2019 held in Barcelona, one of the largest smart city confrences in the world.
Plogg-In, together with Embla from Miðeind and Genki Instruments was nominated as one of three most promising startup companies of 2020 by Ský during the UTMessan expo, which is the biggest IT conference in Iceland.
Our team found a more energy efficient way for GPS tracking, in the hope of making a lighter and more comfortable tracking devise for wild animals.
The team signed a 9-month sponsorship with Reykjavik University for plokkari.is. This cooperation/sponsorship will help the team develop a solid foundation for the platform, which can then be built upon in the future.
