Driving Innovation With Henri@Nestlé
Nestlé is to build new partnerships with start-ups by launching a new global open innovation platform called Henri@Nestlé. The platform will expand Nestlé’s on-going activities in working with start-ups by building on theSilicon Valley Innovation Outpost, launched in 2013.
It will help create a more effective approach to innovation, working with technology partners and early stage entrepreneurs.
Henri@Nestlé will provide an online mechanism for start-ups to partner with Nestlé and gain access to its geographic reach & extensive brand portfolio.
Start-ups can submit ideas to the site, which will provide an ongoing series of business challenges on themes from digital services and sustainability to creative content and product innovation among others.
Successful applicants will receive funding and the chance to partner, pilot and scale up their solution with Nestlé. Henri@Nestlé is due to launch at the end of June.
