Innovation
Our mission is to bring the future forward, by bringing the outside in. We are developing win-win partnerships with leading innovators.
That means connecting the start-ups which share our vision for the future with the people who can make it happen. We don’t think innovation is new, or happens on the side – it is central to everything we do and it could involve you, too.
But don’t just take our word for it, read our innovation stories.
Vodafone continues to push forward, to develop new technologies that empower people and create a better future. This has helped us to become one of the leading telecommunication providers today.
In a rapidly evolving world, there is no room for complacency. We’re always looking outwards for inspiration, collaboration and partnership opportunities.
Our innovation strategy is focused around our hot topics below, but if you have something completely new which aligns with our vision, we’d always be excited to hear about it.
Our hot topics
Blurring the lines between virtual and reality may sound out of this world, but it’s not all sci-fi. There are already some very real and practical applications and we think there’s enormous potential for more.
Let us know what AR/VR means to you, and the opportunity that it presents for our customers.
As a trusted provider, Vodafone is committed to protect our customers’ cyber security, privacy and identity. We believe in a connected world with frictionless user experience, whilst ensuring the highest levels of integrity.
If you can further help us to enhance our security and constantly improve the protection we provide our customers, we want to hear from you.
We are living in a world with intelligent machines which can understand and assist us better. Developing this technology, and understanding what it could mean for both our business operations and our customers is something we’re passionate about exploring. We’re already implementing chatbots for customer care and driving lots of exciting new initiatives, what else can you help us do?
Historically, only humans were able to talk to one another. Now, more and more of the objects around us can communicate with each other, too. The Internet of Things opens up endless new opportunities and ways to live, work, and play in a connected world.
Get in touch and tell us how you would partner with Vodafone to shape the future of IoT.
