Monterrey, Nuevo León, August 4, 2021 — Fast Company today announced its third annual Best Workplaces for Innovators list, honoring businesses and organizations that demonstrate a deep commitment to encouraging innovation at all levels. DLabs came in at #71, for its growth and impact being a pioneer innovating in the steel industry.
Developed in collaboration with Accenture, the 2021 Best Workplaces for Innovators ranks 100 winners from a variety of industries, including computer science, biotech, consumer packaged goods, nonprofit, education, financial services, cybersecurity, and engineering. Working together, Fast Company editors and Accenture researchers scored nearly 1,500 applications, and a panel of eight eminent judges reviewed and endorsed the top 100 companies. The 2021 awards feature workplaces from around the world with several of the honorees based outside the U.S.
“This award is thanks to all the Dlabs team, for believing in our vision and creating the appropriate conditions that allowed us to be one of the best workplaces for innovators,” said Eduardo González, Head of Innovation at Dlabs. “This distinction motivates us to constantly challenge ourselves on how to generate better spaces for learning, how to incorporate the right talent that can grow, over perform, help us reinvent a historic industry and enable the world to build better.”
Based on entrepreneurial principles a following the agile methodology, Dlabs created a culture that fosters innovation and allows the creation of digital products to disrupt an industry where innovation is not the norm. After two years of operations, they’ve managed to develop digital products that are now the base of grupo Deacero’s digital ecosystem. They led the digital transformation of the company through the pandemic, and expect to capitalize on their learning and expertise to disrupt the steel industry.
“These leaders and teams created cultures of innovation and sustained them, even as remote work extended into 2021,” says Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “This newest list of the Best Workplaces for Innovators honors those organizations that found ways to collaborate and invent despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, ensuring employees were at the forefront.”
