Intrapreneurship in Action: BASF, Deutsche Bahn and BNP Paribas
Intrapreneurship is now recognised as a strategy for innovation across many companies including German chemical firm BASF, Deutsche Bahn and French bank BNP Paribas. BASF notably launched the Creator Space co-creation project to explore innovation in urban living, energy and nutrition, inviting proposals for a grid-scale energy storage technology. Deutsche Bahn, which recognised that innovation was crucial but slow to develop, created a dedicated ecosystem for its intrapreneurs. Meanwhile, People's LAB at BNP Paribas supports employees to turn innovative ideas into tangible projects within the company.
