The Innovation Runway team enables Lufthansa Group employees to test and validate innovative business ideas in an early stage and in the shortest possible time by providing a platform for joint experimentation, co-creation and innovation.
The employees of the Lufthansa Group have great ideas for constantly improving and renewing products and services. Within this innovation network, there is the possibility of uncomplicated access to the technologies, experimental environments and methods available in the Group. This way, our colleagues who have an idea can easily be brought together with the relevant stakeholders in the group to test and validate a creative idea in the form of a business experiment within six weeks or less. This allows for faster validation of ideas and learning before investing in large-scale products and high time investment.
