Corporate Startups: The Innovation Intersection
Monday 17th October 2016
15:30 – 16:00
Ten years ago with the birth of YCombinator the VC industry was disrupted a new investment model for funding early stage startups, which was called the accelerator. Today this accelerator model is once again disrupting another industry – but with a new twist. Corporates worldwide are adopting the model as a way to stay innovative and quick in an ever-changing landscape.
In the form of a panel discussion we will explore why and how this is happening, is it about a new product pipeline or a wider piece of changing corporate culture. With the use of real world case studies from our panel we will touch upon the topic and give an insight into this new industry.
Speakers:
Anthony Catt, Managing Director, Oxygen Startups
Sam Knight, co-Founder, Pollen8
The Bakery Live!
Monday 17th October 2016
16:00 – 17:15
A new way to get innovation done, not just talked about. A low cost and low risk model that gets tech to trial market. Fast. A large corporate brand will present a brief/challenge facing their business. The Bakery will select six start-ups from a large number of applications for the brief. These six startups then have three minutes to pitch their idea to the corporate client. The two finalists will be brought back for a final round and deeper Q and A. The corporate client speaker will choose the winner for a trial with the help of the audience.
Globalise Me
This is comprised of two parts – a brief showcase of successful startups who have expanded internationally and a workshop-style activity, where startups will learn how they can expand their business abroad. They will receive valuable advice from successful start-ups and get tips for their own business.
MassChallenge
Who are high-impact global entrepreneurs? Where can we find them? And what makes them successful — or not? Ecosystem stakeholders — from investors to universities to governments to corporates — have an important role to play in ensuring the vibrancy and growth of communities that can support and nurture high-impact entrepreneurs. In this interactive discussion we'll tackle the burning question: what makes entrepreneurial ecosystems successful, and how can we create more of them? This workshop will have breakouts and will accommodate 20 - 40 participants.
Friends with Benefits: How to win at startup and corporate collaboration
The results are in: corporations and startups are working together like never before. MassChallenge and Imaginatik surveyed hundreds of startups and corporations in a first-of-its-kind research study on startup/corporate collaboration. Join the debate with James Millar, Director of Partnerships at MassChallenge and a panel of thought-leaders from the corporate innovation space.
