About the session
Like many corporations, our approach to emerging-tech innovation was inefficient - fragmented by small initiatives, slow to acknowledge trends, incomplete connectivity to emerging tech ecosystems.
PepsiCo sponsored a new vision: Become a leader in tech innovation by integrating cutting-edge solutions at a global scale.
Result: PepsiCo Labs was established to help PepsiCo be faster, stronger, and better in discovering, testing and scaling technology start-up solutions.
º FASTER | Accelerate growth through rapid pilots
º STRONGER | Harness new capabilities that strengthen PepsiCo for the future
º BETTER | Leverage technologies to reduce our impact on the planet
Outcome: PepsiCo Labs is connecting with hundreds of the world’s most innovative solutions to unlock shared potential.
