At Coca-Cola HBC, we continually explore new ways to invest in our future – and the €100k Start-Up Challenge allows us to do just that.
Now in its second year, the €100k Start-Up Challenge opens up more opportunities for us to discover innovations from across the startup ecosystem, that are aligned to our business priorities.
The winner receives a €100k award from Coca-Cola HBC’s Ventures arm, and gains access to mentorship, support and our industry expertise.
Wecheer’s team stood out for their creativity, excellent business acumen, and their passion for solving industry challenges. Their patented technology enables companies to capture important insights about consumption occasions and to reward bar staff more effectively than ever before. They stood out among the many great startups that were considered during the process and are very worthy winners of our 2023 €100k Start-Up Challenge.
