in deutscher Sprache

A fresh breeze powered by an innovative mindset – this is what established companies expect when they invest in startups. Joining forces with young enterprises is currently a top global trend. How can both startups and mature companies profit from this partnership? Can established companies adapt to the different mindsets of start-ups or is this a convenient fiction? Which challenges do businesses face independently of their size or age? We invite you to an open discussion and direct interaction with our guests on the podium.
