Corporate-Startup Partnership Interactive – EuroAsia 2021

15 – 17 September 2021

1500 – 1700 HKT/SGT | 0800 – 1000 BST | 1100 – 1300 GST | 1700 – 1900 AEST

The 1st Corporate Entrepreneurship Interactive aims to bring prospering partnerships between corporates and startups to the next level by drawing experience sharing between the Asia Pacific and EMENA corporates.

The highly volatile market condition accelerated by the pandemic has put corporates through further tests to distinguish the actual value-creation in corporate-startup partnerships clearly. At the same time, it seems almost mandatory for corporates to include game-changing partnerships with innovative startups to further speed up innovation and transformation.

What mindset should corporate leaders hold while accessing startups for collaboration? How to create a high-impact partnership model with concrete and measurable goals? How to optimise expectations between both parties to alleviate potential cultural and technological clashes to assure smoother sailings?

Though the roads ahead would not be smooth, all parties also seem to see the growing importance of these partnerships. If done right, a massive potential for innovation lies in corporate-startup partnerships.

In this interactive conference, the Corporate Disruptors Forum team will bring the best from the two sides of the world, combining the reach, experience, and insight to help corporate decisionmakers across the EuroAsia region to embark on a faster and smoother journey in corporate entrepreneurship.

This forum aims to facilitate an in-depth discussion into innovative corporate-startup partnership approaches for corporates to reinvent and remain relevant amidst the disruption beyond simply setting up corporate venture capitals. The forum will be focusing on: –

• Strategic transformation for corporates in the Global Reset.

• Corporates’ strategic role in the startups and innovation ecosystem.

• Rethinking the startup ecosystem engagement strategy for maximising innovation capacity.

Corporate-Startup Partnership is a two-way street. The responsibility of making the collaboration a successful one is not only on the corporates but also startups.
