How Vodafone works with startups

Vodafone runs its scaleup engagement through Tomorrow Street, a joint venture with Luxembourg's Technoport. Its six-month Scaleup X programme moves proven scaleups through three stages: scouting a real enterprise need, validating readiness and risk, then scaling adoption across the group. In 2026 the programme engaged 93 executive budget owners, generated more than €50 million in revenue for scaleup partners, and cut procurement cycle time by 37%.
