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.

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:
