We plan to involve Pioneers Group and Startup300 AG to open more opportunities for growth with +15.000 startups and large enterprises in their network as a shareholder in Be-novative. We are going to empower more organisations with the AI-based gamified ideation process, that we will further develop for high usability and the global networking of innovation teams to get methods, connections and resources to make their idea happen in real life.

The starting point for the planned transaction was originally the successful collaboration between Pioneers Discover under the leadership of Anton Schilling in enterprise innovation projects where Pioneers Discover has chosen Be-novative to be the best Innovation Platform in Europe. Oliver Csendes, Managing Director of Pioneers Group (JFDI GmbH , the company behind Pioneers Discover), comments : “Together with our corporate clients, we have had very positive experiences with innovative products. The team around founder, CEO Priszcilla Varnagy has developed a technology in recent years that takes corporate innovation processes to a new level. Together with the consulting expertise of the Pioneers Discover Teams we have a unique offer on the market.”

“The equity in Be-novative is the next step in the implementation of our plan to offer the widest possible range of digital transformation support companies,” says Bernhard Lehner , co-founder and co-CEO of startup300 AG (Who recently acquired Pioneers Group) . “Not only is Be-novative a proven partner, but we are also securing another technology asset that will enable us to support and scale our consulting business.”
