Corporate Engagement
Particularly in nascent ecosystems, a collaboration between all ecosystem stakeholders should be a priority. Start-ups can benefit from the technical expertise in R&D institutions, the wider relationship networks, and the deeper investment funding capabilities but also technical and regulatory mentorship available with larger corporations. At the same time, pioneering young founders can bring the agility and disruptive thinking that traditional organizations require to remain competitive. This includes public authorities with their often-large public procurement budgets.
