What is Accedia Innovation Development Center?

The Innovation Development Center (IDC) is a skill-sharing initiative launched for the first time in 2017 as part of the talent development strategy at Accedia. It supports the realization of the team members’ innovative ideas into software solutions with the help of the company itself and mentors in Software Engineering, HR, Marketing, and Sales.

Benefits behind IDC

Here at Accedia, we value each and everyone’s passion, unique personality, and eagerness to learn and develop. By creating IDC, we celebrate both individual talent and ideas along with teamwork and effort. IDC is built on the idea of the common goal, the culture of learning from one another, and the path to finding new skills.

IDC rulebook

Everyone in Accedia is free to come up with an original and unique project idea, regardless of the department they work in.

Accedia’s IDC Mentor team then meets with each idea owner and discusses their pitch.

After ideas have been approved by the mentors, the owners gather a team and start working on developing the solution.

All teams have an assigned mentor who supports and guides them throughout the entire process.

At the end of each IDC season, all projects are presented in front of the entire company.

Based on the developed idea’s complexity, technologies, and level of innovation, teams receive a prize and are recognized for their effort and creativity.

Season 1 of IDC took place back in 2017 when thanks to advanced technical expertise the contestants created innovative applications for education, the automotive sector, and more. One of the best-performed projects was My Car Service – a native Android application created for vehicle owners to keep records of maintenance costs and service procedures and receive notifications for any upcoming part change, repair, or document expiration. Technologies: Spring, Hibernate, XML, SQLite, MySQL

Season 3 brought us Aether Defense – a strategy mobile cross-platform game designed to recreate the traditional Tower Defense experience with a modern Augmented Reality spin. Blending the classic virtual world into the real one, the game features a map layout, waves of marching enemy attackers, and possessions and territories which must be defended. Players are offered endless replay value and a wide variety of customization options, while the co-op mode also allows for multiple people to play together.
