Innovation also breaks through traditional corporate boundaries. After all, if we want innovations to come flooding into the company from outside, the process must be open for partners. PFLab is looking to work with other corporates and to spearhead innovation projects together. Each company will bring to the table their own strengths, market knowledge and specialist expertise in specific development areas. A prime example of this is Ormera – a company that provides smart energy billing solutions using blockchain technology – which is based on a partnership between PostFinance and the Berne-based power supply company, Energie Wasser Bern (ewb).
