Open innovation

We're taking open innovation to the next level. We're working with researchers, startups and innovation partners to strengthen entrepreneurship and shape disruptive innovation.
Our 14 global R+D Accelerators provide a unique platform for startups, students and Nestlé intrapreneurs to bring highly differentiated innovations to market at speed. We drive innovation by exploring and collaborating on solutions in strategic R&D areas – from technologies and services to products. By unleashing the potential of individuals and startups, we empower them to tackle significant challenges, bring their ideas to life, and catalyze transformative change always with a win-win partnership in mind.

Our R+D Accelerator
In 2024, we launched an Open Innovation Challenge seeking to identify and bring to market innovative nutrition-based solutions that support women with their physical and mental health.
Challenge winners get access to our state-of-the-art infrastructure and unmatched science and technology expertise in one of our R&D centers. Winners also have the possibility to collaborate with one of Nestlé’s global R+D Accelerators to develop and strengthen their proposal.

Supporting the next generation
Today, two out of every five young people are either unemployed or working in a job that keeps them in poverty. To help tackle this problem, we launched Nestlé Needs YOUth, our global youth initiative. This helps young people gain skills that will help them thrive in tomorrow's workplace.
Our Nestlé Youth Entrepreneurship Platform (YEP) further supports this initiative. YEP consolidates all Nestlé's innovation programs in one place and provides a 'one-stop shop' for future food innovators to learn new skills, test ideas and grow their businesses.
