Are you UP
to Grupo Nabeiro’s
Challenge?
About disrUPtion
An Open Innovation initiative created by Diverge, Grupo Nabeiro’s Innovation Centre, in partnership with imatch, that aims to bring solutions developed by startups into Grupo Nabeiro’s value chain, solving the challenges, with a co-developed pilot.
The selected startups will go through 3 sprints, in which they will do a Deep Dive into Grupo Nabeiro so they can work over their products/services with experts from the company and adapt them to their reality, with the final goal of validating them in real environments, with stakeholders and customers, so they can get to a final solution that may be implemented in Grupo Nabeiro and that will bring value to market.
At the end of the program, all the startups with solutions that adapt to Grupo Nabeiro’s value chain may work in partnership with them, developing synergies and making the most of all the related advantages. Besides that, 3 startups will be selected to an event with international reach to showcase the final result of their projects.
UP we go!
We’re mainly looking for solutions in these 4 areas (but if you have something good to present us don’t hesitate to apply).
The market is constantly changing and new products and ways to consume come up every day. We want to meet new and exciting products, methods of producing, manufacturing, consumption that we can help enter the markets in which we work.
Never before has responsible impact been so relevant to the World’s sustainability. We want to meet and improve solutions and work practices that bring us together in these times of sustainable change.
New types of consumers and new ways of consumption make us rethink the way we interact with consumers. We’re looking to accelerate solutions that help us list, understand and reach out to the several types of consumers when and where they want to be met at.
We want to empower solutions that, alongside new ways of connecting with customers, make all the experience, from the first touchpoint to establishing a long-lasting relationship, into an experience that matches the Nabeiro Group’s values.
