PILOT PROJECT MANAGEMENT

SpinLab facilitates pilot projects between startups and corporate partners, providing support from the conceptual phase through to execution using a structured stage-gate process. On top, SpinLab fosters innovation through "venture clienting," where established companies become initial clients for startups.

TREND SCOUTING

SpinLab delves deeply into specific emerging subjects and technologies that are relevant to your company.

VENTURE CLIENTING

We can assist you in venture clienting, shaping your innovation strategy, and providing you with tailored workshops and best-practice guidance.

Joining Forces to Shape the Future

"If you want to successfully shape the future, you must break new ground. Our cooperation with SpinLab enables us to identify new product and process innovations early and test them in collaboration projects. This allows us to expand our partnerships with startups in a targeted manner as part of our strategy going into 2025 and beyond."
