This type of investment enables corporates to participate in the dynamism and agility of start-ups and at the same time promote strategic partnerships that bring mutual benefits. By using corporate venture capital, established companies can expand their innovation pipeline, while start-ups benefit from the capital, expertise and networks of corporates, which accelerates their development and market positioning.
