Four challenges.

One ambition: make work better for people.

Mota-Engil operates across some of the world’s most complex and demanding work environments. In this first edition of AUDACIOUS, we are looking for innovative solutions that can help us anticipate risk, detect danger, connect people and promote wellbeing.

The four challenges are interconnected. We welcome solutions that address one or multiple challenges, including technology-driven, behavioural and human-centred approaches.

This challenge focuses on solutions that can detect unsafe conditions, behaviours and interactions in real time. Exploring innovative solutions to identify high-risk situations before they become accidents from people working around heavy equipment to falls, hazardous materials or restricted areas, enabling faster preventive action before an incident occurs.

Potential Use Cases

  • People–vehicle and people–equipment proximity detection
  • Collision prevention and real-time safety alerts
  • Falls and work-at-height prevention
  • Restricted-area and hazardous-material monitoring
