Process
To participate solution providers, submit two elements via the ekipa platform:
1. Fixed Questions (online form)
After joining the challenge, applicants complete a short set of mandatory questions. These questions ensure comparability across all submissions and allow EDEKA Südwest to assess solution fit quickly and fairly.
2. Pitch Deck (PDF upload)
Applicants upload a concise pitch deck providing additional depth.
The deck may include:
- product overview & key features
- architecture / technical setup
- reference customers or pilots
- differentiation vs. competitors
- pilot idea for EDEKA Südwest (initial thoughts, assumptions, integration concept)
- expected benefits and value contribution
- commercial model and pricing structure
The pitch deck should allow EDEKA Südwest to understand the solution in context and evaluate its potential for a real-world warehouse pilot.
