Startups: who they are and why they matter

Startups are young, fast-growing companies focused on innovative technologies or services. Their strength lies in their ability to adapt quickly to market needs and trends. For corporates, startups offer disruptive ideas and solutions that can accelerate innovation strategies. While corporates may be constrained by established processes, startups thrive on flexibility, creativity, and risk-taking—qualities that make them a powerful complement to your organization. Together, these synergies enable faster innovation and exploration of new market opportunities.

The value of startup collaboration

Partnering with startups is a win-win. Corporates bring scale, resources, and experience, while startups contribute cutting-edge technologies, fresh perspectives, and agility. This combination fosters faster responses to changing market needs and promotes innovative problem-solving within your organization. 60% faster innovation: Corporates collaborating with startups achieve accelerated results (BCG). 75% risk reduction: Experimenting with startups reduces innovation risks (Accenture). 86% competitive advantage: Corporates involving startups in their innovation strategies strengthen their market position (KPMG). At Innogize Match, we bridge the gap between corporates and startups, ensuring collaborations deliver measurable results.

Ensure your partnership succeeds

Explore opportunities in pitch and deep-dive sessions

You can experience for yourself that startups innovate faster and come up with fresh ideas during a pitch session or a deep-dive session. During these dynamic meetings, we bring startups and corporates together to share knowledge and explore opportunities. The sessions are fully tailored to your specific challenge or area of interest. In a pitch session, a few carefully selected startups present their innovative solutions to a group of five or more corporates in short, powerful pitches. This offers a fast and efficient way to get acquainted with new ideas and possible collaborations. During a deep-dive session, we go even further. This session revolves around a specific theme, in which not only six relevant startups present their solutions, but also six corporates from your network or our ecosystem share their challenges and needs. We take the time to delve a little deeper into certain topics or solutions and learn from each other's experiences. This not only creates business opportunities, but also promotes knowledge sharing and collaboration between corporates. Innogize Match organizes these sessions down to the last detail. We select startups that seamlessly match your issue and guide them intensively in their preparation, so that each pitch and presentation precisely matches your needs. Thanks to these events, you gain direct insight into innovative solutions, new trends and valuable contacts with startups and other corporates.
