The group ADP rewarded, on February 1st, the winners of the global innovation competition "Play Your Airport" launched in June 2017 around a common ambition: to create the airport of the future.
This novel approach in the airport industry, through its diversity of communities called to participate (students, companies, travelers and employees of the group) has mobilized creative energies all around the world: nearly 2000 challengers from 77 countries, 12 finalists, 4 winners.
The four communities presented their projects to a panel of internal experts and qualified international representatives. All of them put the customer at the heart of the proposed new solutions, to develop new services throughout the passenger journey, even before arriving at the airport.
Here are the winners:
- For the students project:
ShopNGo: Transforming the wait into a useful time by benefiting from personalized offers and discounts in stores.
- For the companies project:
Haptic System: An energy-generating soil 100 times more efficient than solar, thanks to travelers' movements.
MVAW Technologies : Vegetated furniture allowing the improvement of the air quality.
- For the travelers' project:
Travel&Share: Use wait times to favor experiences sharing and meetings at the airport.
- For the employee project:
Revolution’Air: Optimize the passenger process thanks to big data, especially by making appointments at security checks.
Through all the projects proposed, four major trends are shaping the airport of tomorrow: an airport that is more connected, more sustainable, more entertaining and more collaborative.
Each community received a prize: for students and for travelers, plane tickets for a world tour; for the companies, the financing and the accompaniment of an experimentation up to 40 000 euros and for the employees, a study trip in Silicon Valley.
Play at Your Airport is a starting point for the development of intrapreneurship within the company.
