3.00PM: Panel Discussion + Q&A - Sustainable Co-Innovation in the Age of Disruption
Synopsis:
In this age of disruption, where new technologies and platforms transform the landscape and playing field of commerce, larger and more established corporates must change and seek collaborative efforts to co-innovate. However, reaching outside of the organisation to scout for technology and collaboration partners may be challenging for corporates. In this regard, Innovation Enablers play an important role in providing that bridge between the corporates and the startups, and in driving successful and sustainable co-innovation outcomes through deep and continuous engagement with stakeholders.
In this panel, co-innovation stakeholders will shed light on the motivations and challenges of co-innovation and the importance of Innovation Enablers in overcoming these challenges. Corporates who have just recently embraced co-innovation will share how this has become increasingly important in a company’s strategy and how to overcome some of the initial inertia internally.
Some of these corporates will also share more in-depth about their problem statements during the Corporate Pitching at 4.10pm.
