🚀 𝐕_𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐛 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 🚀 Last week, our partners Manuel Hörl and Dimitri Nabatov joined global innovators and changemakers at Web Summit in Lisbon, one of the largest and most impactful tech events in the world. For us, the 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 at the beginning of the week was especially relevant, offering focused discussions and valuable insights into corporate transformation. 🎤 𝐕_𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 As part of the summit, we hosted a Masterclass titled “𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞: 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬”, engaging 60+ attendees in actionable discussions about building and scaling corporate venture studios. A huge thank to our amazing panelists Daniel Martín Gómez (Stellantis Ventures), Matthias Leibetseder (WaVe-X), and Ulf Heyden (BurdaForward). Together, we delved into the keys to success for venture studios, such as balancing autonomy from corporate structures with top-level support to maintain agility and speed in venturing efforts. 💡 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐖𝐞𝐛 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 1️⃣ 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 – AI continues to accelerate, with experts like Don McGuire emphasizing how critical it has become for processing today’s rapid news cycles. Sustainability also remains central, with many calling 2025 the year of robotics. The next few years will be transformative for both fields. 2️⃣ 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – Carlos Silva reminded us that, even in an AI-driven world, the success of ventures ultimately depends on having the right people. Pharell Williams’ advice also resonated deeply: align your work with what you love, no matter the role. 3️⃣ 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 – Tom Hale underscored a critical truth: “The risk of not innovating is now greater than the risk of failure.” In a world moving at the “speed of TikTok,” the urgency to innovate has never been more pressing. 4️⃣ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – While corporations are investing in innovation, aligning these efforts with strategic goals remains a challenge for many. Web Summit proved yet again to be an unmatched platform for innovation and collaboration. We’re already looking forward to returning in 2025—see you next year, Web Summit! 👋 #WebSummit #CorporateInnovation #AI #Sustainability #CorporateVenturing
