Tomorrow's Technology Together

Vodafone's innovation centre Tomorrow Street and global solutions provider World Wide Technology have entered into partnership. The partnership's objective is to accelerate Vodafone's adoption of new technologies from the emerging scaleup companies.

World Wide Technology (WWT) has formed a partnership with Tomorrow Street, a joint venture between Vodafone and Luxembourg's technology incubator, Technoport, driving technology transformation in Vodafone and enhancing go-to-market capabilities for its innovative technology scaleups.

WWT brings unique capabilities that complement and enhance those of the existing strategic partners, achieving Tomorrow Street's goal to accelerate leading-edge technology through scaleups. WWT has enjoyed a trusted and strategic partnership with Vodafone since 2016, providing multi-vendor solutions, professional and global supply chain services across Vodafone's 330 million customers in 15 countries.

WWT and Tomorrow Street billed their partnership as one that will be mutually advantageous: The partnership will accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies from scaleups endorsed by Tomorrow Street to Vodafone and WWT's customers, advancing their commercial operations as a result. 

Tomorrow Street scaleups will have "preferred terms" with WWT and have access to its Advanced Technology Center, Cyber Range and AI proving ground facilities, to aid with product development and PoC/V testing. Coupled with WWT's existing OEM ecosystem and leveraging WWT's experience in selling multi-vendor solutions to find and qualify opportunities will accelerate engagement and drive higher value sales for Vodafone. 

"This partnership with WWT marks an exciting chapter for Tomorrow Street. By combining our innovative portfolio with WWT's extensive global reach and advanced facilities, we are creating new business opportunities for scaleups to thrive and succeed on a global stage," said Kenneth Graham, CEO of Tomorrow Street.

WWT, led by CEO Jim Kavanaugh, is one the largest privately held companies in the US, with $20+ billion in annual revenue and $6.3 billion in international business. WWT Executive Vice President for Global Service Providers, Kraig Ecker, stated: "the partnership with Tomorrow Street is particularly attractive due to WWT's investment in emerging technology within AI and security. Tomorrow Street's focus on scaleups gives WWT access to products and services that are developed and have already entered the market. This, coupled with WWT's extensive go-to-market experience with Vodafone, provides a win-win for both organisations".
