The idea of Jochen Mundinger to create routeRANK came when he planned a trip to attend a seminary in Poland in 2006 [5]. After losing an afternoon to arrange his trip, he decided to create a tool to calculate an optimal itinerary[6]. Within one year, he founded routeRANK [7].
The company won the KPMG Tomorrow's Market Award during the Day of Innovation at the EPFL in 2008 [8]. Jochen Mundinger was also named a TR35 by MIT’s Technology Review in 2010[9]. routeRANK has been recognized with several awards such as the Best of Swiss Web 2010[10], the Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award, category “Best idea” in 2012[11], the Zurich Climate Price, Special prize Mobility in 2013[12], the Innovation-Challenge AXA Winterthur in 2016[13] among others.
