Innovation is all about connecting the dots

Open innovation and collaboration has never been more important as the speed of technology development increases as well as business volatility

With Sopra Steria Scale up we aim to be the international bridgebuilder and unlock the values and benefits from collaborating. We assist incumbent organizations to get access to the latest solutions and help startups to get access to the right opportunities.

Sopra Steria Scale up is based on the mindset of open innovation where ecosystems and collaboration outside its own organization are vital. We act as the ecosystem orchestrator and connect the dots by combining innovative solutions from startups and scaleups to solve real business problems. To secure value creation when exploring new business opportunities, we add a structured way of running innovation processes from idea to implementation.

Sopra Steria Scale up’s vision is to be the preferred partner for catalyzing open innovation and provide services in order to build in-house innovation capabilities both in short- and long-term perspective.
