VW starts incubator in Transparent Factory

Volkswagen welcomes six innovative mobility teams for a 200-day start-up incubator programme in its Transparent Factory in Dresden. During this period, they get the opportunity to take their innovative ideas and develop mobility products or services which are ready for the market. Alongside Volkswagen mobility experts they will be supported by Group It's Ideation:Hub as well as experts from the SpinLab – The HHL Accelerator-Programm of HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management.

The start-ups in the Transparent Factory are experts in Big Data and evaluate traffic flow data in the urban area. They will plan the accelerated expansion of charging column installation, new car sharing models, the way in which navigation to free parking spaces will function and which environmentally friendly solutions can be used to replace delivery traffic in the inner-cities.
