    The pain of Covid is still being felt in travel and many names will disappear in 2022 as they are bought up by deep-pocketed players looking to improve their processes. Booking.com is just one of those flashing the cash.

    Some companies buy start-ups to keep their tech fresh while others prefer to establish their own in-house lab or “skunkworks”. Singapore Airlines has opened a $45m research centre with Singapore University which has a cabin simulator at heart, collecting data on passenger comfort and sleep using sensors to guide seat design, cabin climate and customer experience. Ryanair has opened labs in places like Warsaw, Madrid and Dublin while Mastercard is opening a new lab this year. Do they really work in driving innovation? How should smaller companies invest in innovation?

    Early stage startups have the advantage of a late start and being able to learn from those who have blazed the trail. They also have the advantage of nimbleness and agility – a beautiful moment in time – before scale starts to set in and weigh them down. We gather a selection of these relative “newbies” and ask them how they are using these advantages to their benefit and how they are compensating for their disadvantages – from hiring of talent to limited resources.
