iO and ALD Automotive develop innovation studio for the mobility sector

The goal: to be at the forefront of innovation in a rapidly changing market.

Blended agency iO and leasing company ALD Automotive joined forces to create a Dutch innovation studio for the global mobility player. The goal: to stay competitive in a rapidly changing market where the themes of sustainability and energy are growing in relevance. ​ 

Under the motto Committed to creating successful innovation together, after a successful pitch from iO, both organisations will set up an innovation studio at ALD Automotive. Thanks to the new collaboration, both parties can discover and validate new concepts faster around strategic themes such as customer satisfaction, sustainability, and affordability of mobility.

Lonneke van der Horst, Marketing & Strategy Director at ALD Automotive, about the studio:

"The innovative environment and approach will be a breeding ground for new services, connecting our customers with our teams and iO’s expertise. It is our ambition to be at the forefront of innovation, and this will help us break the status quo and be a leader in the mobility industry."

Uilke Duinstra, Service Line Director Strategy at iO Campus Utrecht, also looks forward to what the innovation studio can achieve. ​

"At iO, we believe in the added value of innovation and effective collaboration, which in turn fits perfectly with the ambitions of ALD Automotive. We have already achieved a lot of great things for our customers in the mobility sector. Now we're doing that on a larger scale and this will deliver continuous innovation in a sector that is constantly changing."
