TEYI: Improving Collaborations between Large Companies and Startups

Designing a Desirable Future

Since the Innovation Strategy Forum was founded in 2015, we have had meetings which focus on different disruptive technologies such as IoT, AI, ML, cyber security, nanotechnologies and blockchain. In a workshop called “Designing a Desirable Future”, we brought together visionaries from the business world, academia and the public sector to discuss how we can best use these technologies to create a world and future that we all want to live in.

To summarize the key ideas that were discussed in the workshop, we have written a report that can be used as inspiration for continued discussion. It includes an executive summary, prioritized key elements of a desirable future, enabling technologies, gaps, barriers and some ideas of what we need to do know in order to secure our future.

Corporate Innovation Powered by Startups

Sweden has a long tradition of industrial innovation and has now also become a leading powerhouse for tech startups. Many of these startups are already very successful but there are some ways to improve the economic outcome that we are only starting to explore.

In Corporate Innovation Powered by Startups the authors argue that one approach to boosting the return from innovation is to further encourage cooperation between corporates and startups, combining the scaling expertise and muscles of established companies with the creativity and agility of the startup community.

Based on in-depth interviews with 100+ people from corporates, startups, investors, authorities and other stakeholders, the report analyzes the Swedish startup landscape and presents six different models for corporate-startup cooperation, sharing best practices from real-life case studies.
