In January we were for the 2nd consecutive year, at the show CES in Las Vegas with a delegation of 17 leaders from the sector (Stef / DB Schenker / Savoye / FM Logistic / GS1 / La Poste). Beyond the discovery of the global innovation ecosystem and a show unique in its size, it is the major subjects such as AI, voice and robotics that must be remembered and put in the viewfinder of our businesses in the years to come.
In March, we had the honor of being the “ Innovation Partner " from the show SITL 2019 and as such, we co-organized the StartUp Contest and the Innovation Prize. Following the success of these two events, a date has already been set with the team Reed Exhibition for the SITL 2020.
SITL 2019 was also an opportunity to hold a conference/debate around the “ Responsible delivery " with the exceptional participation of Nicolas Chabanne, the very communicative and no less brilliant co-founder of “ Who is the Boss " the consumer brand with incredible performance. Nicolas explained to us the origins of this project where the consumer regained control over their choices and enlightened us on how to transpose the model into the delivery professions. Around him, Hervé Street, president of Star Services and also president of SNTL, explained to us the difficulties that our professions encounter. Julien Morel, Supply Chain Director of Rimowa returned to the challenges that delivery represents for the group LVMH and Jean-François Mathieu of UPS gave us his group's vision on this subject.
On April 1st (and this is no joke) we welcomed 150 leaders to the Mogador Theater for the first evening “Innovation Night” by SprintProject. During this evening, we discussed innovation issues in our sector and future trends. This evening was also an opportunity to formalize the strategic partnership between SprintProject and the investment fund Idinvest in the construction of the first global investment pocket dedicated to the supply chain. Through this partnership, we will be able to deploy our monitoring process systematic worldwide. Finally, we also took advantage of this gathering to announce an emerging collaboration between SprintProject and representatives of the city of Angers and some Angers French Tech cooperative on the project “Angers city of connected objects”.
Finally, on April 16 we presented the results of our second wave of Consumer Lab " Delivery services: realities on the expectations of the French ", a barometer produced in partnership with GS1 France and OpinionWay. In front of 5 great witnesses (L’Oréal, Fnac-Darty, DB Schenker, FM Logistic and Colis-Web) the 70 professionals present were able to debate this major subject and compare the evolution of trends since last year's results.
With these performances, SprintProject anime now 6 memberships, specific to your professions or functions.
At the same time, we will soon announce several Learning Expeditions on different continents such as Asia, Africa and North America.
A busy start to the year and which heralds a great year 2019!
Next meetings, May 16 for an afterwork debate around robotics with the participation of Savoye VS I-Follow and Unsupervised. Then, on June 13, we will welcome this time Idinvest and Shippeo for an afterwork dedicated to financing growth.
