In the NEX x Kickbox campaign, we worked with our NEXt generation to find innovative products and services that fit into a strategic Swisscom fit. In a six-hour workshop, the apprentices were able to get a taste of innovation and give free rein to their creativity.
In the workshop, we focussed on the latest trends and technologies and explored the questions of how we can generate extraordinary experiences for our customers and employees. Or in which areas the trainees still see potential for improvement. At the end of the workshop, 13 new business ideas emerged. From solutions that can tackle the problem of fake news to festival apps that help customers find concerts by their favourite acts.
"It's not about ideas. It's about making them happen."
Although generating ideas is a first step, we are all the more pleased that three teams have decided to develop their ideas further with Kickbox and validate them in the next phase??
1. Digital round trip
Anyone who is overwhelmed by digital use in everyday life does not know, for example, how to order an SBB ticket on the app or understand the self-checkout machines when shopping, how to pay with Twint and also how to deposit their Cumolus or Coop supercard on their mobile phone or how to pay with their mobile phone.
2. Syncli
A comprehensive solution that aims to simplify users' everyday lives with a variety of functions. At the centre of the application is the calendar function, which serves as the main feature. It allows users to easily create and share appointments, for example by creating groups so that appointments can be shared efficiently with the same group of people.
3. BlueWallet
An innovative wallet for the digital future of Switzerland where receipts can be received, the SwissPasse can be deposited or bank cards and loyalty cards from various loyalty programmes can be stored. One wallet for everything!
