Introduction

Companies today are operating in an increasingly complex world. Rapid technological changes, digital disruption, and unforeseen shocks are making the business environment more unpredictable, dynamic and interconnected. How can companies ensure success and continued growth in these times of great change?

To accelerate innovation and leverage growth opportunities, forward-thinking firms are increasingly turning to corporate venturing: finding, funding, and then nurturing and ultimately monetizing new businesses through exit or integration into the parent company’s core business processes. Put simply, corporate venturing is providing companies a new and more robust mechanism to stay ahead of the curve.

Corporate Venturing and Innovation is a new programme for senior leaders and decision-makers who are looking for break-through ideas to build a game-changing portfolio of new businesses.

You gain clear insights into the dynamics of corporate venturing. From finding, evaluating and nurturing new ideas to building the right processes, structures and innovation ecosystems to establish relationships with the wider start-up and investment community. You emerge from the programme with a comprehensive understanding of what is at stake, and a customized action plan to build new businesses.
