by Startacus Admin
From supply chain solutions and health and safety solutions for construction sites, through to waste management ideas, construction tech innovation and startups wanted for Wincanton Innovation Lab Sprint 3.
As one of the UK’s leading third-party logistics providers, Wincanton plays a huge role in construction projects all across the UK. Now, with the launch of Sprint 3 of W2 Labs - an innovation lab designed to discover emerging innovative ideas and tackle some of the logistics industry’s toughest challenges, they are aiming to focus on the construction sector specifically.
From supply chain solutions and health and safety solutions for construction sites through to waste management ideas, they’re seeking innovative startups that can disrupt and also support the
sector.
Delivered in partnership with corporate innovation specialists L Marks, Sprint 3 of W2 Labs is looking for startups who can introduce ideas that have the potential to create a digital and integrated construction supply chain.
In particular they are seeking startups who can offer innovative solutions in the following key areas:
- Collaborative supply chain management software solutions which can be used to manage an end to end supply chain
- Innovative solutions which can predict demand and improve forecasting
- IoT, AI and Big Data tools which can provide visibility and traceability of both construction materials and assets
- Technologies which can be used to manage a reverse supply chain and help drive a circular economy
- Health and safety solutions which can be deployed on site
They are also keen to hear from Wildcard entries - startups that are using innovative new technologies and different approaches that can assist Wincanton, their people and their customers.
This is an equity-free programme and will provide startups with:
- The opportunity to test their product or service in a live customer environment
- First-class mentorship from experienced subject matter experts
- Potential to pitch for investment with both Wincanton and L Marks
