About the session

During the session you will learn how Rabobank has organized its (Open) Innovation activities. I will especially share how we are organized and how we perform matchmaking between our business lines and innovation partners like startups and scale-ups.

Furthermore, I will share some examples, challenges, life hacks to make Open Innovation work and how we make our buy, build, partner decisions since we also work together with our investment teams.
