Pilot contract and expert coaching Deadline passed

Together with Get in the Ring, KPN is looking to make its finance department future-proof. We’re looking for innovative startup and scaleup solutions on 2 different topics within finance, of which the most promising solution(s) will get the opportunity to test these in a pilot project.

 

KPN is the largest telecom and IT service provider in the Netherlands. As they explain it: “Our network is Dutch to the core. We have a clear mission – to help the Netherlands move forward through that network. KPN truly believes in technology and in the power of communication. We are KPN. We are the network that enables the Netherlands to move forward – the network that cares for the Netherlands.”

 

To stay ahead of the competition, KPN noticed that innovation is essential. After a successful Challenge with the Business Intelligence division, it’s the Finance division’s turn. Innovation in processes but also innovation in people. With this challenge KPN wants to achieve 2 things. To activate their employees, preventing useless or double projects by sharing knowledge & activities. And to use big data and statistics to improve their financial forecasting
