A Global Ecosystem of Startups
Building a global network of local startups
Sodexo works with a large network of startups from around the world to pilot the latest solutions at our sites. One of the ways we identify the best startups is through the Sodexo Accelerator. This program helps identify the leading-edge solutions that will meet local needs while impacting our business globally and keeping our entrepreneurial spirit alive. Startups apply to the program, we select the most promising, and engage them in an intensive mentorship and pilot program. Selected entrepreneurs, working together with our executives, then have the opportunity to develop and deliver game-changing solutions to our clients.
Investing in partnerships
Sodexo Ventures also allows us to closely monitor, anticipate and respond to evolutions in rapidly moving sectors and markets. It then allows us to invest in the startups that will enhance Sodexo’s services. Sodexo Ventures investments include:
AEYE GO, a self-checkout system powered by artificial intelligence helps with our many cafés.
