Academy Workshop - Working with Corporates

In this workshop, delegates will gain an understanding of how to find the most suitable corporate partners, both for open innovation and as business partners, as well as how to most beneficially engage with them, either in collaboration or as part of a supply chain.

A wide range of typical corporate relationships will be presented and discussed, with specific information on several major European organisations who are actively seeking SMEs to work with. Additionally, information on typical terms and conditions of engagement – from joint R&D through to business development – will be shared and reviewed.

This module will also complement the “Seeking Investors” module, which is delivered on the day before and includes guidance and practical knowledge on corporate investment.
