Case Study: Telefónica streamlines accelerator management with Skipso

Telefonica launches 36 accelerator programs with Skipso

Telefónica, one of the world's largest telecommunications companies, launched its Open Future program to decentralize and support entrepreneurship. Their challenge was to manage this extensive network of accelerator hubs efficiently, requiring a digital platform to handle multiple open calls, streamline program workflows, and simplify the mentoring and evaluation processes. To address this, they partnered with vendor Skipso to implement an innovation management platform.

Skipso built a flexible, multi-tenant platform that allowed Telefónica to manage all its innovation hubs from a central system. The solution enabled hub managers to source and evaluate applicants, while startups and mentors could easily book sessions and track progress. Using Skipso's platform, Telefónica efficiently launched 36 accelerator programs, streamlined its scouting process, and fostered valuable partnerships to promote innovation.
