The Power of Uncommon Partnerships
Innovative Solutions
Mastercard's adaptive
ecosystem strategy revolves
around forging alliances with
uncommon partners to
collectively create
revolutionary solutions. This
strategy allows them to tap
into capabilities and expertise
that go beyond their existing
boundaries.
Breaking the Mold
Unlike traditional alliance
strategies that typically keep
partners apart, the adaptive
ecosystem brings these
partners together, fostering
collaboration and maximizing
value creation. It's a bold and
transformative approach that
propels growth and leads to
disruptive innovation.
Overcoming
Challenges
Pursuing such partnerships
may be risky, require
substantial investments, and
demand constant adaptation.
However, Mastercard
believes that these challenges
are a small price to pay for the
immense potential and
opportunities that lie within
the adaptive ecosystem.
Revolutionizing Contactless Payments
Transport for London
Collaboration
Through a groundbreaking
partnership with Transport for
London (TfL), Mastercard has
designed an innovative
contactless payment solution.
This collaboration aims to
enhance the convenience and
efficiency of public transportation
by leveraging the power of digital
payments.
Improving Hepatitis C
Treatment
Teaming up with Gilead Sciences,
Mastercard has implemented a
system where each dose of
Hepatitis C treatment is linked to
a unique digital ID. This
transformative approach ensures
proper medication tracking and
vastly improves patient
management and care.
Enabling Convenient
Laundry Solutions
In a collaboration with Maytag, a
brand owned by Whirlpool,
Mastercard has created
"Clothespin" – a cutting-edge
wireless pay-per-use solution for
laundry equipment. This
advancement adds convenience
and flexibility to the way laundry
services are accessed and utilized.
