Wayra News

The business magazine Capital puts Wayra Germany in first place in its ranking of the best innovation labs. The ranking provides clear evidence of the success of the venture client model, which aims to establish the parent company Telefónica as a customer of the start-ups. The Munich Innovation Hub is thus considered a blueprint demonstrating how Innovation Hubs can function in Germany.

The Wayra 5G Tech Lab now offers young founders and startups the opportunity to develop groundbreaking new 5G applications for consumers and industry. Come and pay a visit at the Tech Lab.

Discover why so few women found start-ups and how we at wayra Germany are bringing more diversity into our portfolio.

2020 is over. "Finally," many people might say, but I would also say "unfortunately", because 2020 was an incredibly successful year for wayra Germany, Telefónica's Open Innovation Hub. The last twelve months were extraordinary and challenging in every respect: From my start as Managing Director of wayra Germany in January to managing the Corona impact on our Munich space from March, and my parental leave in the last two months of the year.

Despite all the difficulties that 2020 brought, we were more successful than ever with our Acceleration Program. And this, although we had to do without, among other things, our program's core, our physical hub - our central location for collaborative interaction in Munich.

Our Innovation Hub wayra Germany invites you together with investors, startups, and companies to the online conference The Funding Cocktail on December 9 and 10,2020
