Innovation Marathon 2026

Co-create AI solutions that drive real business impact

The Innovation Marathon is a programme where Valtech experts and a select group of clients come together to explore what’s possible with AI. It’s hands-on, collaborative, and focused on building something real—a working proof of concept that addresses a live business challenge.

You won’t be going it alone. Along the way, you'll work with peers, learn from subject matter experts, and shape a solution that’s grounded in your priorities.

 

Who should join?

This programme is built for teams who want to innovate, but don’t want to hit pause on the day-to-day. If you’re already thinking about how AI fits into your roadmap, this is a space to make progress quickly, with the right support.

Digital and platform teams

Keen to explore AI in a modular, scalable way — without disrupting existing systems.

Our goals for you

  • a proof of concept you can stand behind
    You’ll leave with a working prototype that solves a real problem in your business.
  • an experience-led approach to AI
    Together we’ll explore how AI supports your broader strategy, not just a single use case.
  • a stronger network
    You’ll collaborate with clients and colleagues across industries who are asking the same questions you are.
  • a clear path forward
    Whether you choose to scale your solution or explore another idea, you’ll know exactly what the next step looks like.

 

What to expect

The programme is structured around six key moments, designed to keep momentum high and effort manageable.

  • Kick-off (onsite): define your challenge, shape your ambition, and get to work

  • Milestone 1: review your solution design with the group

  • Milestone 2: share your progress and refine your approach

  • Milestone 3: prepare your concept for demo

  • Grand Finale (onsite): pitch your solution, share your results, and connect with new stakeholders
