In this blog article they share their Go Green winning experience and some advice on starting live adventures.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>On a Sunday of April, that single step started. We had the first chat via Messenger to have a decision to register for <a href=\"https:\/\/gogreeninthecity.se.com\/en\/challenges\/gogreeninthecity\">Go Green In The City<\/a> 2018, with all excitement and determination. At that time, we were concerned about all the wasted energy when motorcycles are braking on the road. We wanted that millions of motorbikes out there are not only a means of energy consumption but also a source of energy. Originated from that desire, the idea of motorbike\u2019s regenerative braking system, transforming wasted friction into electricity, was born.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-55323 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_2-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p><b>Seven months of development\u00a0and grow<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We gradually developed the original idea. At first we made prototypes and conducted researches. Secondly we applied the business aspects to the project. There were many rounds during the competition, from the simple to the most complex one, and at each stage we always received help and encouragement. Our dear teachers at Duy Tan University supported us greatly, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/about-us\/careers\/overview.jsp\">Schneider Electric<\/a> mentors. Then also the jury board provided as with highly valuable feedback.<\/p>\n<p>One time when we faced a difficulty, our dear teacher transmitted the flame of enthusiasm to us by one sentence: &#8220;You have not tried to do it yet. How do you know you can&#8217;t do it?\u201d. The sentence is short but it became a source of hope for our creativity and effort not only in our research but also in our life. Thanks to help and encouragement from everyone, the idea had gradually been improved. Not to mention that we have also grown up day by day.<\/p>\n<h4>Shaping sustainable future<\/h4>\n<p>Friday of September 7<sup>th<\/sup> became the unforgettable day. We almost cried together on the telephone line when we received the congratulatory email from Schneider Electric informing that our team would be in the grand final round in Atlanta, the USA. No words could express our feeling at that moment!<\/p>\n<p>We were impressed by other students ideas, offering solutions to many existing problems such as <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/life-at-schneider-electric\/2019\/01\/02\/go-green-in-the-city-fighting-world-hunger\/\">hunger<\/a>, garbage, waste of energy, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/sustainability\/2019\/02\/06\/what-its-like-to-be-a-global-go-green-finalist\/\">air pollution<\/a>, etc. All of us shared the same hope that our ideas can partly help the world become a better and more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/about-us\/sustainability\/\">sustainable<\/a> place.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55310\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ORG_DSC01933_finals.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4906\" height=\"2880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ORG_DSC01933_finals.jpg 4906w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ORG_DSC01933_finals-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ORG_DSC01933_finals-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/ORG_DSC01933_finals-1024x601.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4906px) 100vw, 4906px\" \/> <\/p>\n<h4><strong>Women In Business Global Award <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>During the journey we could obviously see that Schneider Electric\u00a0 has a deep respect for women and cares about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneider-electric.com\/en\/about-us\/diversity-and-inclusion\/\">gender equality as well as diversity<\/a> in the area of energy industry. We appreciate and feel thankful because of that. It was truly an honor and we are very happy that our team was selected to receive Women In Business Global Award, a special award for for the best all-female team.<\/p>\n<p>We often jokingly say that this award is a sweet ending for our wonderful Go Green journey. However, it is not really an end, it is a beginning because it creates the additional motivation for us. Every time we look at this award, it motivates us to be stronger, never stop learning, and never stop trying.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55309\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business_Go-Green-2018.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1540\" height=\"1027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business_Go-Green-2018.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business_Go-Green-2018-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business_Go-Green-2018-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business_Go-Green-2018-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1540px) 100vw, 1540px\" \/> <\/p>\n<h4>Girls Go Green<\/h4>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-55324 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"354\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Women-in-Business-winners_1-125x125.jpg 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>We are young girls with dreams, aspirations and efforts.
