For large organizations, incubating new ventures and participating in venture capital investing can sometimes be viewed as risky. It’s safer, many colleagues will say, to just focus on nurturing today’s core business.
Yet not engaging in these activities may mean missing big opportunities now developing in the marketplace, significant technological shifts, or changes in consumer behavior.
For organizations seeking new drivers of growth, it’s important to look carefully at new venture creation and corporate VC — and consider whether you should be doing either or both. Or, if you’ve got those activities in place today, whether they’re properly structured and resourced.
For this research project, more than 25 corporations in the US and EU spoke to InnoLead or completed our survey to share their advice — and the challenges they face — with new venture creation and corporate venture capital initiatives. Companies featured in the report include Goodyear, BMW, Nestlé, Johnson & Johnson, Prologis, Piaggio Group, CSAA, JLL, and more.
This report was sponsored by KPMG LLP and produced by InnoLead.
