Bright Sparks by Vodafone Innovation: meet our start-ups
At Vodafone, we are committed to supporting small tech businesses. Bright Sparks is a Vodafone programme that brings together our most talented people with some cutting-edge start-ups, providing a platform for knowledge sharing and innovation.
This year we are partnering with even more early-stage disruptors for the second edition of the Bright Sparks programme.
Bright Spark’s purpose is to provide start-ups with access to expertise from a dedicated Vodafone expert – our Bright Sparks Vodafone Champions – and the wider Vodafone network. Over a period of six months, both the Vodafone Champions and the start-ups will use Bright Sparks as a vehicle to uncover opportunities for future collaboration.
The start-ups on this year’s Bright Sparks programme cover a range of areas including consumer-centric solutions to B2B, digital transformation, customer operations, mixed reality, brand & marketing, IoT, network analytics, and knowledge sharing.
