Startup-Corporate Partnerships Key To Innovation

Description:

Partnerships between corporations and startups aren’t new. They are just becoming increasingly more critical. Innovation is key for corporations looking to stay relevant, and strong corporate partnerships are often a startup’s most powerful growth hack. According to Boston Consulting Group, 95% of startups wish to develop long-term corporate partnerships. JD Weinstein, head of Oracle’s Startup Ecosystem in Austin; Karen Kilroy, entrepreneur and CEO of Kilroy Blockchain; Sabrina Wojtewicz, co-founder of Bunker Labs; and Sara Chapman, Director of Entrepreneurship Strategy & Partnerships at Dell will discuss how companies are approaching innovation differently, what startup-corporate partnerships mean today, and how both startups and corporations can find the right fit.
