4. België barst van de creativiteit en talent. Om maximaal te profiteren van
deze pool van innovatie kan corporate venturing een omgeving creëren om
jonge bedrijven te ondersteunen tijdens de kritieke fase van opschaling.
Anderzijds kan een start-up een matuur bedrijf helpen uit het eigen
paradigma te stappen en een creativiteitsmotor vormen om te inspireren en
te innoveren.
Corporate venturing wacht een mooie toekomst en zal in de komende jaren
sterk aan invloed winnen.
