Case Studies // How we work: Corporate-startup partnerships unpacked

26 Oct 2026
Pre-Summit Investment Forum
In this fast‑paced case study series, corporates and start‑ups take the stage together to unpack what it really takes to move from pitch to partnership - and from innovation to scale. Across two case studies, corporate-startup pairs share candid insights on real‑world collaboration models, key decision points, and lessons learned when working across organisational boundaries. The session offers a grounded look at what works, what stalls, and what both sides wish they had known earlier.
