Disruption is accelerating. Businesses are looking for ideas to accelerate the benefits from Business Services. Fortunately, start-ups are continuing to furiously innovate and are looking for clients. SSON is in a unique position to get the best of the best startups, hundreds of blue chip clients and the best thinking on transformation all together.

What is the Start-up Zone?

The Start-up Zone is a dedicated networking, exhibition space and content program at European Shared Services & Outsourcing Week specifically designed for early and growth-stage Business Services Start-ups to showcase emerging tech, solutions and thought leadership. At the Start-up Zone we connect digital disruptors with enterprise shared services and global business services leaders, technology providers, consultants, investors, incubators, and many others, to collaborate on what will drive business transformation in the 4IR.

Why sponsor?

As a Start-up Zone partner you will have the opportunity to showcase your offering to more than 500 enterprise leaders that are keen to gain an 'early adopter' edge over their competition. You will be doing so through specific presentations, demos, 1-1 meetings and other tailored networking functions. Our Start-Up Zone Advisory Board will share their expertise to help craft your perfect message and set you up for a successful onsite experience.

A snapshot of startup solution categories include: Robotics, AI, Intelligent Automation, machine learning, intelligent optical character recognition (IOCR), chatbots, document management, data analytics, workforce management, loan processing, blockchain, data management, employee engagement, operational excellence, T&E, natural-language generation (NLG) and many others.


Why SSON is so excited for the launch of the Startup Zone

Every company undergoing a digital transformation must be aware of the latest thinking, emerging technology and innovative vendors that can help run SSOs better, faster, cheaper, and smarter. Similarly, business services start-ups must be equipped with the knowledge and tools to effectively work with enterprises. While the opportunities are endless, the struggle is real. We're here to help. For the past 20+ years, SSOW has supported the interests of shared services leaders and supporting partners globally, helping the community scale their centers, create value and drive business transformation. We are thrilled to leverage our community and build this space for innovation to happen.
