Innovating with startups and scaleups is just one of the many facets of open innovation. Still, corporate-startup collaboration remains of its most “alluring” modes. The reason is twofold.
First, the attributes, know-how and networks of startups can be highly sought after. Second, this type of collaboration promises to be a universal panacea, “curing” ailments such as: wicked problems in the industry, slowing speed of operation, inability to enter new markets and even a culture in need of rejuvenation
In this talk, you hear about common pitfalls in corporate-startup collaboration and learn how to organize their resources, relationships, and even networks for best results.
