Atento Next - How the program works
From the registration of the projects, all will be evaluated and four startups with the most innovative ideas, which bring disruptive technologies to improve, more and more, the experience of consumers and, also, enhance the performance and results of Atento's customers, will be selected . During the process of accelerating the chosen startups, entrepreneurs will receive exclusive mentoring that will be given by the main leaders of Atento, where they will have the chance to develop projects together with the corporation, seeking synergies and exploring business opportunities. In addition, the selected startups will have the opportunity to work in a complete office, in the city of São Paulo, where they will have contact with investors, executives and other network startups.
For Atento's CEO, Carlos López-Abadía, Atento Next will continue to support the digital transformation in an accelerated way. “By making room for agile startups in different stages of growth, we have the opportunity to quickly adapt their most innovative ideas to stay ahead of the curve, while bringing our expertise and guidance to guide them to success. Projects like these have the potential to transform society and can contribute in several extremely valuable ways to Atento ”, explains the executive.
“Investing in innovation is one of our priorities as a company and the time has come to see this investment overcome Atento's barriers, bringing an outsider's eye on how to deliver valuable experiences to consumers. It is the vision of companies that were born in the era of experience, in which digital predominates. We believe that integrating different perceptions and getting the best out of each one is always very positive ”, adds Mauricio Castro, Director of Innovation at Atento.
For this challenge, Atento entered into a partnership with Liga Ventures, a company specialized in innovation programs that connect large companies and startups. “Liga Ventures' mission is to help the market to innovate more and faster. For this, we connect leading companies in their sectors to technology startups, to explore business opportunities and partnerships, allowing projects to be prepared more quickly and in a structured way - with the support and support of our specialists in selection, acceleration and also of our mentor network ”, concludes Daniel Grossi, founding partner of Liga Ventures.
