Bringing fresh air into your company with innovative startups
Digitalization requires even long-established companies to demonstrate increasing willingness and competence to innovate. Many companies are already collaborating with startups through incubator programs or accelerators. This often offers many advantages over internal innovation.
But is this really the right path, and when is cooperation worthwhile? What challenges exist in such cooperations at the operational, organizational, and cultural levels? Why do startup integrations often fail, and how can you improve it? The VDI conference "Corporates and Startups – New Business Areas and Digital Transformation" provides answers to these and other questions.
The conference will focus on these topics:
Intrapreneurship: Company Building
Corporate Innovation: Digital Transformation / Disruption
Accelerator: Own accelerator vs. partnership
Strategies and approaches of startups
Corporate Venture Capital
