2020 Edition

Corporate Startup Stars 2020 | Award Ceremony

The annual celebration of the best global practices and role models in Open Innovation.

December 15, 2020

Collaboration between corporates and startups, if done right, can bring tremendous benefit to both. Startups can access invaluable resources and market insight which can help them scale, whilst for established companies, such collaborations offer an important mode of innovation – as well as subtler benefits like cultural change. However, it is hard to get it right. We believe that the organisations doing this well should be recognised as trailblazers.
