Corporates need startups to accelerate in new business areas and and startups need corporates for the same reason. Yet it is not always easy for startups and corporates to work together and both parties need to bridge the gap between their different worlds. A good understanding of the different aspects of successful corporate-startup collaboration is necessary to be successful in the long run.

Corporate Venturing Network and the Erasmus University have developed a tool which provides both corporates and startups insights into these critical success factors for joint innovating: www.readytoteamup.com.

In this interactive session Corina Kuiper from Corporate Venturing Network will elaborate on a successful startup/corporate collaboration. And Karin Struijs from HAN will inform us on the new education & innovation initiative Katalysator.

Presentations are in English and the entrance is free. We welcome new guests, so please feel free to pass on this invitation to relevant people in your network!

We are looking forward to meeting you on December 14!

The monthly meetings Science Meets Business aim to connect people and exchange knowledge in the world of science and business.
