Open innovation with Swiss Post
We work with startups, universities and companies with a validated prototype or a robust concept – and test solutions together in real Swiss Post operations.
From exploration to a joint solution
With Foresight, we identify Swiss Post's strategic areas of action at an early stage. This gives rise to concrete opportunities for collaboration – so that you can focus on precisely where we make an impact together. Open innovation is particularly effective if a functional prototype or a clear solution idea exists. Together, we define the target vision, test environment and success criteria.
Solutions are tested under real conditions in pilot projects. Transparency, clear responsibilities and a common understanding of the benefits and costs are crucial.
Quick check for enquiries:
- Is there a prototype or a robust concept?
- Can the benefits be clearly described?
- Can tests be made measurable?
Together, we identify the benefits at an early stage, check the feasibility and develop the solution step by step.
