Investing in innovation is a proven strategy for success. Innovative companies are more resilient for crises, are more attractive to new talent and are more likely to play a decisive role in the future of their industry. Sounds promising, doesn’t it?
Open innovation in particular allows large corporations to increase agility while exploring new types of partnerships and businesses. Collaborating with startups will create new opportunities. But don’t be fooled. Corporate venturing needs a solid strategy and an experienced team to make it work. We can help you with that.
