Roota, the FCC Group's intrapreneurship programme organised by the Digital Innovation Lab team together with the Human Resources area, has come to an end, and the winning team was announced at Innovation Day. 

Following the presentation of the ideas of the finalist projects at the Demo Day held a few weeks ago at FCC's corporate headquarters in Las Tablas (Madrid), the evaluation committee, made up of the top management of the FCC Group and its business areas, decided that ‘Digital Twins: Our Window to the Future’ would be the winning prototype and that it would be developed with a minimum viable product approach to validate the solutions identified.

Roota programme 

This was the first edition of roota, an intraentrepreneurship programme open to everyone in the FCC Group, regardless of their geographical location, professional category or function or department, and which sought to highlight the potential of the company's internal talent.  

A total of 68 ideas from six countries and three continents were registered during the course of the programme. 17 reached the end of phase 2, and five of them reached phase 3 as finalists. In this last phase, the teams developed prototypes, or pilots, of the proposed solutions, carried out validations and worked on a first version of a business viability plan, because the objective is for these ideas to generate a real impact on businesses.

This programme is designed to respond to challenges through collaboration in teams that can be multidisciplinary, made up of professionals who, following a process inspired by innovation methodologies and with expert accompaniment, make it possible to develop tangible and innovative solutions that benefit the FCC Group within the framework of its activities, either by promoting proposals that are aligned with the challenges faced by FCC Group entities in their activity, or by evaluating the visibility, sustainability and viability of the proposed solutions, so that they can be implemented in a challenging and changing environment.
