Driving your business forward through unifying external venturing, partnership and portfolio growth

In a fast-paced world where new technologies come to light every day, companies have to fight for the position of a technology leader. That is why external innovation and strategic partnership play a key role in company growth. Companies need specific scouting strategies and intelligent technology investment plans.  Well managed external partnering will lead to an increase of quality technology, expansion of the product portfolio and discovery of new business models and markets. Whether this is done through an open innovation platform, separate corporate venturing subsidiary or establishing joint ventures, it is driving global business forward.

This summit brings together leading innovation, R&D and corporate venturing executives from top companies and a cross section of industries. We offer an excellent mix of strategic insight, product case studies and interactive panels to help your company grow technology and establish meaningful and successful partnerships.

This year we cover key topics including:

• Managing the global R&D portfolio in an era of techscouting, corporate venturing and partnerships
• Strategic and practical examples of open innovation: From externally gained technology to commercialisation
• Exploring the corporate venture decision making process and looking to the strategic challenge of disruption
• Analysing the opportunities, risks and values of partnerships with SME’s, universities and joint ventures
• Discovering the right sources for game changing innovation

With so much at stake, this is an event you do not want to miss!

See you in Berlin.

AVENTIS

Vice President, Head of Disease Groups

I have enjoyed the meeting and was in fact very positively surprised. It was very good to get this cross-industry feedback and I took back quite a few refreshing ideas which are worthwhile to follow up. This was definitely no waste of time and I will look forward to E.N.G.’s next meeting.

BURGER KING

Innovation & Commercialisation Manager EMEA

A very well organised conference with a great selection of varied delegates and speakers. I found it an excellent opportunity to network with new people who I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet in another forum.

HEINEKEN

Group Innovation Manager

Plenty of time built into the programme to allow delegates to discuss ideas & approaches and develop contacts.

SABIC PETROCHEMICALS

LONZA

Rich and vibrant conference, with an excellent mix of speakers from SME, mid-sized, and large companies.

ASTRAZENECA

Diversity Director Research & Development

The presentations were of very high quality and the atmosphere was one of inclusion rather than competition. The openness with which information was exchanged was unusual and this was critical to the effectiveness of the conference. The audience had as much to contribute as the presenters and it was a refreshing change that they were not only 'talked at' but 'listened to'.

BARILLA

Product Development Director - Soft Categories

It’s a nice way to become more open. And being open is a promise for innovation
