From automating our homes to the way we travel, next month\u2019s Innovate 2017<\/a> event will showcase up-and-coming innovations that are new to market or already in production.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s first Hyperloop prototype pod<\/h2>\n

As part of the Hello World Showcase<\/a> we will have HypED<\/a>, the constructors of the UK\u2019s first prototype pod and a winner of the Hyperloop One Global Challenge<\/a>. The team of students from the University of Edinburgh\u2019s engineering, informatics, economic and business schools are rethinking the future of transportation.<\/p>\n

Hyperloop is Elon Musk\u2019s idea for the future of mass transportation. A hyperloop is a sealed tube or system of tubes where a pod can travel free of air resistance or friction. It will provide a new way of transporting people and goods quickly, safely, efficiently and sustainably.<\/p>\n

The HypED team was one of 10 across the world to have been named a winner of the Hyperloop One Global Challenge, which called for proposals to build Hyperloop networks connecting cities and regions. HypED\u2019s proposed route<\/a> would run from Edinburgh to London, through Manchester and Birmingham.<\/p>\n
