The “emphasis” Open Innovation Program is in progress.

The teams we will see in the final of the second phase.

The “emphasis” Open Innovation Program is an initiative of Cardlink, which is implemented in collaboration with the Athens Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ACEin) of the Athens University of Economics and Business and aims to highlight new business ideas and innovative products and services. In the first phase of the program 34 business and research teams participated, by presenting their proposals for the following thematic units of the Retail industry: Business Analytics, Customer Experience, Payments / Added Value Services and Retail Modernization.

The 8 teams that stood out, proceeded to the second phase of the program and received consulting guidance and specialized feedback from Cardlink business experts at the “Pivoting Workshops” that took place. The aim of this phase was for the teams to define the dimensions of their own Proof of Concept that they could implement in a real environment by collecting useful data for the development of their business proposals.

The second phase will be completed at the end of September with the final presentations of the teams, through which the winning teams will emerge and will finally proceed to the implementation of their business ideas.
