Excellent Innovation Challenge #3 Start-up Edition Bootcamp in Vienna!

We are excited to announce the successful conclusion of our Innovation Challenge #3, which culminated in a three-day boot camp in Vienna. This event focused on proactive collaboration, co-development, and knowledge sharing. A big thank you to the three innovative start-ups — Packative, Biomyc, and extrakt.AI — whose diverse perspectives enriched the experience.

Integration with Start-ups – Forming Powerful Teams

Over three days, we formed ambitious teams that worked proactively to develop start-up ideas further. Together with innovation experts from Nosco and our internal coaches, the selected teams delved deeply into market analysis, customer insights, business strategies, and technology evaluations. This collaborative approach allowed us to drive industry transformation, improve processes, and deliver innovative solutions.

“With our 3rd Innovation Challenge, Start-up Edition, we elevated our approach to innovation to the next level,” said Eike Schopper, Head of Business Development, Innovation & Sustainability at Aluflexpack.

“This year’s challenge focused on collaboration with universities, start-ups, and research institutes, pushing the boundaries of our innovation efforts,” noted Mande Miošić Pavičić, Head of Innovation and Sustainability at Aluflexpack.

“What made this year truly valuable was bringing experts from across Aluflexpack together with talented start-up teams to co-create solutions for the market,” said David Škrinjar, Business Development & Innovation at Aluflexpack.

“Participating in the Innovation Challenge allowed us to gain in-depth insights into supply chain processes and receive direct feedback from business owners,” shared Tomaž Škulje, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of extrakt.AI.

„Aluflexpack’s unique structure and the intensive approach where we got key stakeholders from both companies in a room together were amazing. It produced such great results that we plan to incorporate this in our customer onboarding!“, said Atanas Enev, Biomyc.

“What these teams achieved in just two days was remarkable. We look forward to developing these ideas further and turning them into real value,” stated Johannes Steurer, CEO of Aluflexpack.

Through innovation, we continue on our path of being the most integrated manufacturer of premium circular flexible packaging and barrier solutions, committed to creating long-lasting packaging experiences.
