Given the speed of innovation and the shorter technology lifecycles, both large companies and start-ups have a vested interest in partnering. A strong, win-win partnership between start-ups – corporates – academia is the key to success. Successful alliances can significantly speed up time to market and scaling up, amongst others.
EPFL Innovation Park created a series of 6 workshops with dozens of company executives as speakers to talk about their best practices and lessons learned from their own experiences and network. There will be case studies as well as group discussions. Start-up CEO/CTOs, Academic Professors, and Corporate innovation managers will have the possibility to work side by side to help each other, to achieve better understanding and to build a powerful business and personal network, and to leverage each other’s strengths to achieve disruptive innovation and to scale up.
