We co-create the future with Unilever leaders, aligning with their strategic priorities and understanding their challenges.
We source and scout for solutions to our business’ innovation priorities. Through developing and maintaining connections with the external innovation ecosystem, we bring relevant insights and create new solutions for the business through start-ups/scale-ups partnerships.
We establish a process for assessing, testing and determining the potential value of new solutions, building a bespoke integration pathway into the business.
