67% of corporates feel that their company is too slow to innovate.
Corporates are not organized to manage today’s disruption. They feel they’re too slow to act on the wave of external factors and disruptive competitors, despite of the in-house intelligence, know-how and budget.
45% of start-ups feel the need of getting access to larger (industry) networks.
They are scaling up and eager to expand their innovation potential in co-creation with established companies.
That’s where we step in.
There is an urgent need for more smarter collaboration between corporates & scale-ups in the Flemish ecosystem. Netwerk Ondernemen wants to build these bridges, to unlock your innovation potential.
