Why should you work with us?
Our innovation unit is driven by a combination of open innovation principles (Venture Clienting, Co-Creation etc.), where we actively collaborate with innovative companies to leverage synergies and foster groundbreaking innovations. By combining our knowledge and skills with those of our partners, we can create impactful and transformative solutions. Our focus on pilot projects ensures that every collaboration is geared towards tangible outcomes, providing a clear pathway from concept to value realization.
Our approach
We innovate through pilot projects, which serve as the vehicles for our innovation unit. Our methodology revolves around the Magic Triangle, ensuring that every project we undertake addresses technological feasibility, business value, and customer benefit. This holistic approach enables us to identify and nurture innovations that are not only viable but also valuable.
Our team comprises colleagues from diverse professional backgrounds, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to each project. This diversity ensures that you, as our partner, will always work with motivated, competent, and decisive team members who are dedicated to finding and implementing the best solutions. Additionally, our colleagues act as your most trusted partners in addressing the topics we work on together internally. By working with our innovation unit, you gain the opportunity to pragmatically and swiftly test your solutions, technologies, and innovations in practice within the home appliance industry.
We also find collaborations with universities and research institutions exciting, particularly in the areas of trend research and innovation challenges. By working with us, your real problem statements can be integrated into research and teaching, providing valuable, practical insights for academic and applied research. Together, we can achieve remarkable results and drive the future of innovation.
Results of collaboration
Through our collaborations, we embark on pilot projects that explore co-creation and other innovative approaches. These projects aim to deliver Proof of Concept (POC) and Proof of Value (POV), focusing on the development of functional prototypes. These prototypes help us gather crucial insights across three dimensions: technological feasibility, business value, and customer benefit. This approach, known as the Magic Triangle, is the cornerstone of our collaborative efforts. Successful pilot projects that meet these criteria have the potential to be adopted as innovations within our company.
Moreover, the results and insights gained from each pilot project are always shared with our partners, ensuring transparency and mutual growth. We believe in fair financial compensation for all our pilot projects, recognizing the value and contributions of our collaborators. Participating in a pilot project with us is not just a collaboration—it’s your first step into the world of Liebherr, where innovation and excellence go hand in hand.
