Whether digital label holder in the supermarket or packing station for private people, whether Selfiestick or “drain fairy”: You could have done that? Really? For companies, the development of innovations is one of the most challenging tasks ever.
When it comes to digital technologies, start-ups are often one step ahead of established companies today. This is a sufficient reason for small and medium-sized businesses to work with start-ups and take advantage of their developments.
The Hamburg-based start-up NautilusLog won the Digital Logistics Award in 2018. The award opened many doors for the young company at the domestic and international level. Founder Otto Klemke talks about an exciting year, about trust and prejudices – and a new research project that takes him back to Dortmund.
There are many different formats and concepts for digital transformation. More and more medium-sized companies are relying on start-ins. Compared to traditional innovation departments, flexible, independent digital teams, such as those represented in the Digital.Hub Logistics, have significant advantages.
Classical development work coupled with a start-up mentality: LedgerEngineers want to make logistics companies more digital with blockchain technology. The idea for their “LogCoin” platform came to them while browsing through small ad portals.
In the age of digitalization, innovation processes are completely different from what traditional companies are used to. How an innovation coach can contribute to the success of digitisation projects is demonstrated by the hub member BEULCO from South Westphalia, one of the many Hidden Champions in this region. Tradition and agility do not contrast here.
