Open Innovation

Between 2019 and 2023, Poste Italiane Group has assessed over 2,200 national and international start-ups that were scouted on the global market, had interacted with supply chain operators such as Venture Capital Funds/accelerators/incubators, and had participated in national and international Open Innovation Programmes with which Poste Italiane had signed collaboration agreements.
Of the above-mentioned start-ups, over 450 were deemed of potential interest to the Business Units and about 250 projects were evaluated for potential synergies/collaborations.
More than 40 companies have emerged from this rigorous process and have been the subject of active collaboration, some with acquisitions and equity participation such as Scalapay, Sennder, Tink and Milkman.
