About this Event
Corporate venturing is at a turning point. As companies rethink how they innovate, the focus is shifting from going it alone to building stronger innovation ecosystems.
This year’s Corporate Venturing & Entrepreneurship Summit explores how corporate venturing is shifting to collaborative venturing. How can corporates, startups, investors, universities and public organisations build ecosystems that accelerate innovation and create more impact? Which new models of collaboration will shape the future? And what is needed to strengthen the Dutch innovation ecosystem?
Join industry leaders, investors, policymakers and academics as they share fresh insights, practical experiences and new perspectives on the future of venturing and ecosystem building
