The goal of the Entrepreneurial Desks concept is to get more innovations impulses into T-Labs.
Each subsidary will reserve at least 10 seats to support start-ups in their easrly phase and to try out new ideas.
Another target is to use synergies during the innovation development phases and to possibly achieve market readiness as a Telekom product. This way start-ups like Zimory and wahwah.fm were founded in Berlin; at the moment the start-up QiSec is working this way in Israel just like that.
The succesful use of open innovation method at T-Labs was proven during the development of the mobile social network wahwah.fm.
The idea is simple. Any user can share his playlist anywhere where he is at. Anyone who is close by, can listen to the same playlist.
