In the Tallinn Round three ideas with great potential were selected \u2013 in the nearest future they will make life in Tallinn even more comfortable,\u201d says Kollist and adds that preference was given to solutions that can be used as widely as possible. \u201cThe number of those using bicycles as their main means of transportation in Tallinn is growing constantly and safe parking of bicycles is the major issue for such people. Improvement of living environment and home renovation will become significantly simpler with use of 3D technology. Saving on electricity is also important \u2013 the funded innovation will help many people with budgeting. This is why we can\u2019t wait to see the prototypes and the actual products entering the market,\u201d Kollist explains the reasons for selecting the particular ideas.<\/p>\n<p>114 ideas submitted for the Tallinn Round demonstrate that there are great many proactive and initiative people in the capital who wish to change living conditions in the city and the urban environment to the better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimple yet smart solutions to various problems help to improve our daily lives. I am very happy that so many ideas were submitted for the Tallinn Round, and I hope that our experience will inspire other cities, major regions, smaller communities and individuals alike. We welcome ideas from everyone \u2013 regardless of their place of residence. The new Prototron round has already started and will end on 15 October,\u201d adds Jana Pavlenkova, the chief executive officer of Prototron.<br \/>\nPrototron foundation, established in 2012 by Swedbank, Tehnopol and Tallinn University of Technology so far has provided financing to 35 ideas for the total amount of 380,000 euros. Some of them grew to become international success stories \u2013 Lingvist, Flydog, coModule, GlobalReader and Sprayprinter.
