The future seems to be unknowable and unmeasurable, whilst the business environment has become more and more complex and uncertain. Therefore, innovation has become a precondition of business survival. Future-oriented corporations are creating opportunities and co-operating with fast, creative startups to jointly disrupt whole industries. Corporations’ interest towards startup collaboration has reached a new level due to the digital transformation. Research results have also shown that collaboration with startups affects positively corporations’ business transformation.

 

However, only a few companies utilise fully this collaboration potential. This MOOC will guide you on the path towards a mutually beneficial collaboration, both from the perspective of corporates and startups.
