Together with Żabka Group, Huge Thing will carry out the „Żabka Future Lab” program in order to select the most interesting market innovations from young technological companies that could be implemented in the development strategy of the Żabka Group.

Startups selected from 5 key areas: Commerce, Sustainable Development, FoodTech, Sales Automation, and the Shops of the Future for the Żabka will test technologies they created in unmanned stores or on nano store modules.

Żabka Future Lab is a program for start-ups not only from Poland but from the whole CEE region.

Key requirement is – the companies must have a prototype solution that allows for technical and business validation.

Keep in mind that recruitment is on a rolling basis – we might close it earlier if we are satisfied with the solutions invited to the program.

We know the needs of millions of Żabka's customers, so we strive to allow them to condense their time spent shopping and offer many additional services in one place, thus combining the best of the online and offline worlds. Now we have decided to combine technology and partnership-based cooperation with innovators.

What is our focus?

What can you gain?

Who are we looking for?

You have a prototype of a solution in one of the areas the program focuses on – it can be the MVP or a model that you can connect to data in the Lab.

You are ready to validate technical and business hypotheses – we will help you define them with our unique workshops.

You don’t need to have commercial clients – your Sales team might not be as strong as Tech team but you still need to validate the solution!

You have a defined group of recipients which corresponds to Żabka’s stakeholders – so that together you can build an ecosystem of modern convenience solutions.

When should we apply?
