Crushing universal challenges in corporate innovation

The innovation landscape is full of shared challenges, but that is something you know well yourself. There is a consistent struggle to spot solutions, break down internal silos, and speed up the path from idea to market. The constant flood of information and the rapid pace of work expected from innovation teams can overwhelm even the most committed team with the budget. At Innov8rs Berlin 2025, we’ll tackle these issues head-on, so your efforts stay focused, opportunities aren’t missed, and your competitive edge grows instead of slipping.

The evolving and vibrant role of innovation hubs 

Events like Innov8rs Berlin 2025 are more than just conferences. They are vital, vibrant innovation hubs, in a way. These curated gatherings provide invaluable opportunities for corporate innovators to connect, share burning challenges, and discover cutting-edge solutions.

The real value of Innov8rs Berlin 2025 comes from interactive sessions, tailored experiences, and side-event activities that boost learning and networking. 

For example, there will be an interactive 90-minute workshop where you can discover how AI can become your innovation team’s new best friend, and assess your AI maturity, learning how to apply it to your daily work. The session will feature practical tools, real-world examples, and the unveiling of Yumana’s exclusive “Innovation Radar” framework. Laurent Kinet, Novable’s CEO, will be present and actively participating in the discussions, offering his unique insights on AI in innovation.

What does that mean for you?

Imagine planning a once-in-a-lifetime, multi-continent adventure trip for 6 months with or for your whole family. You wouldn’t typically plan each flight, hotel, and activity separately, hoping timings magically align. While you could book your train, then your hike, then your hot air balloon ride as isolated events, the mental load of cross-referencing schedules, coordinating connections, and reacting to inevitable last-minute changes would turn your dream vacation into a stressful logistical nightmare.

An end-to-end innovation platform is like having a brilliant, integrated travel planner for your innovation journey that handles everything from discovering unique experiences (scouting) to booking all your flights and accommodations (development) and creating a seamless, adaptable itinerary (deployment). It ensures every part of your adventure is interconnected and harmonized, allowing you to relax, enjoy the journey, rather than getting lost in the fragmented details.

Fragmented innovation workflows

A major obstacle in corporate innovation is having disconnected processes. Many teams use a mix of basic, disconnected tools for finding new ideas, evaluating them, and managing projects.  This often leads to major inefficiencies, data loss, and a lack of a clear overview. As many at Innov8rs Berlin 2025 will discuss, one-time searches for new ideas rarely lead to long-term success. And oftentimes, this is the only choice available, it seems.

Yet, the partnership between Novable x Yumana is a great example of how a connected system can solve this problem. Our combined platform is a huge leap forward from basic tools, offering a smooth and easy-to-use experience that guides you from the first idea to the final launch. This allows companies to get fast results by starting their innovation search early, finding good solutions more quickly, and getting to market much faster.

The game-changing benefits of the prepared teams

End-to-end innovation approach goes far beyond single, siloed tools, offering a unified and flexible solution that supports every stage of the innovation lifecycle. But the true value lies in team expertise and years of experience with corporate innovation. Leaders heading to Innov8rs Berlin 2025 often focus on tools but also highlight the value of teams input. Both Novable and Yumana has been on the frontline of corporate innovation for years, adapting, teaching the team to adjust to the demands in this fast-pacing market.

Scouting as a quick win - VERBUND's story

Organizations that embed innovation scouting at the very beginning of their lifecycle often report significant ‘quick wins’. A great example is the utility giant VERBUND, whose innovation hub VERBUND X recently shared their experience.

Their philosophy is simple yet powerful: “If we expect others to innovate, we have to do it ourselves.” To live up to this standard, VERBUND X began using Novable to enhance their own innovation processes, starting with startup scouting. We help them:

✅ Discover startups they might have missed with traditional methods.
✅ Speed up their initial screening process.
✅ Broaden their perspective beyond existing assumptions.

While they are still evaluating the long-term impact, VERBUND X notes that “the early experience has been promising” and they found the team “incredibly engaged and helpful.”

This powerful example from a major industry player underscores the tangible, undeniable benefits of a proactive and integrated innovation strategy. At Innov8rs Berlin 2025 we plan to continue spreading this value for your innovation needs.
