With the launch of a dedicated online platform, workplace services provider Sodexo UK and Ireland is now accepting applications from start-ups with innovative solutions that improve the workplace experience. Sodexo has teamed up with L Marks, an innovation specialist, to launch a global scouting campaign for new and innovative start-ups to collaborate through its innovation programme, Sodexo Accelerators. The foodservice and facilities management company is seeking applications across three categories that align with its Vital Spaces value proposition, which focuses on workspace and work-life services:
Sodexo has also included the opportunity for a wildcard entry to encourage applications for a left-field innovation that will impress the judges and gain access to be tested in a live consumer setting. Start-ups can apply though the company’s website: https://ie.sodexo.com/about-us/accelerators.html Application closing date is 3 March 2022 and selected applicants will be invited to a pitch day in early April. Successful start-ups will then be offered the chance to work with mentors from Sodexo’s subject matter experts and business leaders over a ten-week period to fine-tune their solutions in a live customer environment. Julie Ennis, CEO, corporate services, UK and Ireland and country president for Ireland : “I am excited to launch Sodexo Accelerators in Ireland. The world has changed, and the scope of our services has become richer and more varied, as shown through our Vital Spaces proposition, which puts employee experience at the heart of what we do. We are hugely excited to begin working with start-ups to further support our clients’ needs.” Belen Moscoso del Prado, Chief Digital & Innovation Officer, Sodexo Group, said: “Our Accelerators represent our global initiative to strengthen ties with start-ups to fast-track innovation across Sodexo. Entrants bring their latest solutions to our service offer, while we share our industry knowledge and expertise to aid their development. I am delighted to see the programme begin in the UK and Ireland, and I can’t wait to meet the applicants.” Comments are closed.
