DB Schenker launches Germany’s first venture studio with MVP Factory in 9 weeks

DB Schenker, a leading global logistics provider, faced the challenge of driving innovation beyond its core business to shape the future of the transforming logistics industry. To achieve this, they partnered with vendor MVP Factory to create a unique venture studio setup, combining corporate venture building and venture capital.

MVP Factory implemented a structured venture studio model, conducting over 150 founder interviews and validating numerous ideas. This resulted in the initiation of six startups, two of which were successfully financed. The solution provided DB Schenker with a broad portfolio of innovative companies, including one that offers financial services to freight forwarders and another that creates a platform for dynamic transport planning.
