Entry Overview
Vodafone’s Tomorrow Street supplier innovation centre, a collaboration with the Luxembourg Government, allows the telecommunications company to gain access to cutting edge innovations from fast-growing scaleups that have the potential to become strategic suppliers. Participants are co-located within the procurement function’s offices and provided support in growing their business and forging closer links with Vodafone. The accelerator has so far onboarded and partnered with eight scaleup partners, delivering tens of millions of euros in deal value and supporting Vodafone’s digital transformation.
