We drive innovation not just strategically, but hands-on — from AI implementation to entirely new business models.

In short: We. Drive. Innovation.

Venture Clienting

• Startup Scouting & Analysis: You identify relevant startups, technologies, and trends — through databases, events, networks, and competitive analysis. You assess them for potential partnerships within our venture clienting approach and connect directly with founding teams.
• Innovation Research & Market Analysis: You support the analysis of pain points and automation potential in close collaboration with various REHAU business units.
• Venture Clienting Process: You are an active part of the operational process — from the initial scouting idea to the final use case. You accompany proof-of-concept phases and help test solutions under real-world conditions.

AI Enablement

• Requirements Analysis & Use Case Identification: You analyze AI requirements from REHAU Group's business units and help identify and sharpen concrete use cases.
• Technology Research: You evaluate current AI technologies and tools, assessing what's relevant for REHAU — and whether a need is best addressed with existing tools, custom prompting, or an external solution (startup).
• Knowledge Transfer & Enablement: You contribute to designing and running training formats (workshops, trainings, etc.) and help upskill colleagues in AI — inspiring them and activating them as AI ambassadors.

Cross-functional

• Workshops & Events: You support the conceptual and organizational preparation, execution, and follow-up of workshops and meetings with internal stakeholders and external startups.
• Business Cases & Project Support: You create presentations, market analyses, and decision papers for internal and external stakeholders — and help translate ideas into well-founded business cases.
• Portfolio & Data Management: You maintain and develop our startup, use case, and project database, ensuring all relevant information stays up to date.
