Lufthansa has Germany’s Best Innovation Lab
The Innovation Hub of Lufthansa in Berlin has been voted the best Innovation Lab in Germany. The prize was awarded on 21 June at a formal event in Berlin.
What are Innovation Labs actually for? Which strategies are successful? How well does the exchange between the company and the digital branch work? The business magazine Capital and the Hamburg management consultancy Infront Consulting addressed these questions as part of a study on innovation efforts of German corporations. In this first major stock-taking of Germany’s digital laboratories and accelerators, 34 innovation units – including branches of Daimler, Porsche, Thyssen Krupp, Deutsche Bank, Lufthansa – were systematically scrutinized and evaluated.
The result: The Lufthansa Innovation Hub performed best among German innovation labs and was given the award of Best Innovation Lab in Germany at a ceremonious event in Berlin.
“We are very pleased with this award. It confirms that we are taking the right approach in many ways; after all, digitalization is posing a new major challenge to all companies and there are no blueprints. At the same time, it is an incentive to put ourselves to the test regularly, in order to continue to increase our added value for Lufthansa,” says Holger Schneider, Managing Director of the Lufthansa Innovation Hub.
The business magazine Capital has published the full ranking of all digital labs in Germany in its current print issue.
