Employment and training : To support its growth, the Group is recruiting across all its commercial activities, in banking, digital and IT. By 2023, La Poste aims to have recruited 4,800 permanent staff and 4,300 work-study students.
open innovation ans start-up funding : To meet the challenges of an ever-changing society, a multi-skilled group like La Poste must constantly reinvent itself. To transform itself more rapidly, open innovation is a source of inspiration. In its branches and subsidiaries, in France and abroad, on its own or with the support of partners, La Poste deploys complementary innovation systems designed to support start-ups at different stages of their development.
Under the leadership of Nathalie Collin, Deputy CEO of La Poste group in charge of the Consumer and Digital sector, La Poste is strongly committed to promoting the role of women in the digital sector. Nearly 40% of the startups presented by La Poste in its Le Lab are run or co-run by women. The French IoT Impact x Technologie accelerator, which emphasises parity in the management teams of the start-ups it supports, is unveiling the winning startups of its 2023 competition at VivaTech. Finally, an event dedicated to women in digital technology, organised on Thursday 15 June, will reveal the winner of the 2023 Coups de cœur [2023 Favourites] #FemmesduNumérique [#WomeninDigital].
Collaboration between start-ups and a large group represents a powerful vector for accelerating innovation. For over 10 years, La Poste has been developing an ecosystem of start-ups, enabling it to explore new areas of innovation in its various activities, including banking, logistics and services. At VivaTech 2023, La Poste’s lab will showcase 43 start-ups from the regions, supported by the Group’s business lines and innovation programmes such as the French IoT accelerator, La Banque Postale’s platform58 incubator and the Open CNP, 115K and La Poste Ventures corporate venture funds.
