Wazoku & Schumpit Join Forces: Iberia’s Innovation Dream Team?
Wazoku, the idea‑management tech wizard, has teamed up with Schumpit, a top‑tier innovation consultancy, to supercharge Spain, Catalonia and Portugal.
Why the partnership matters
- Large enterprises in the Iberian region now crave a swagger‑filled, agile approach to staying competitive.
- The COVID‑19 wave has amplified the demand for differentiation and smarter workflows.
- Schumpit brings deep local expertise, while Wazoku offers a global platform brimming with open‑innovation power.
The Schumpit advantage
From Telefonica to Parlem Telecom and beyond, Schumpit has already partnered with giants across sectors—manufacturing, retail, pharma and public services. They help companies grow, ignite transformation, and most importantly, nurture innovation.
Core concepts at Schumpit
- Custom frameworks built for each client’s unique challenges.
- People‑first mindset: flipping attitudes, smashing barriers, and cultivating a culture that loves creativity.
Voices from the front
Simon Hill (Wazoku CEO) says, “Innovation isn’t just a niche; it’s worldwide, but local know‑how is essential. Schumpit’s expertise dovetails perfectly with our tech platform.”
Jose Mª Felguera Garrido (Schumpit CEO) notes, “Local firms need change but often lack the roadmap. The right innovation platform—Wazoku’s—makes that journey smoother and more productive.”
Open Innovation game‑changer
After acquiring InnoCentive in 2020, Wazoku now offers open‑innovation capabilities to almost 500,000 global experts. That’s a big deal in Southern Europe—few can match this scale.
Extend into Latin America
Wazoku also partnered with Transforme to bring its white‑label solution to Latin America. The strategy—blend proven global tech with local expertise—has delivered new clients and success stories.
“We already work with Telefonica and Tolsa in Spain—this partnership will help us grow an even bigger footprint in Iberia,” says Schønning Eysturoy (Wazoku Head of Spain & LATAM).
Bottom line
When Wazoku’s global, data‑driven platform meets Schumpit’s deep local know‑how, the result is a recipe for transformational innovation that’s both impactful and fun. Companies in the region can now harness ideas, spark collaboration, and keep up—and maybe even lead—through the fast‑paced, post‑pandemic world.
