HOW IT WORKS
KICKBOX PROCESS
The Kickbox program at Implenia guides participants through three key phases to turn their ideas into impactful solutions: 1. RedBox for validation, 2. BlueBox for piloting, and 3. GoldBox for implementation. To progress through each phase, you’ll work to continuously optimize your idea and demonstrate its potential to internal Implenia sponsors.
Validate
RedBox
You’ve taken the first step -welcome to the RedBox phase! In this phase, you’ll validate your idea and test its business potential. The RedBox concludes with you pitching your idea to internal sponsors to secure funding for the BlueBox phase.
Duration: 2 months
Start Budget: 700 CHF/EUR
Time: 20% worktime
Pilot
BlueBox
This phase begins once you’ve secured a sponsor. Here, you’ll test your pilot with real customers, gather insights, and make improvements. Upon successful testing, you’ll receive support to secure a sponsor for the final implementation phase.
Duration: Max. 6 months
Budget: According to funding
Time: 20% worktime
Implement
GoldBox
Once you've proven that your idea has real business potential, you'll move to the GoldBox phase. Congratulations! This is your opportunity to scale and implement your idea within the organization, as a separate project, or even as a spin-off.

I'm happy to see our SOS-Stations appearing more and more on Implenia construction sites! After an intense pilot phase, handing over the project to another team wasn’t easy, but it was essential to roll it out as widely as possible.
