Business Development & Growth Academy: From Conversation to Collaboration
In today’s innovation landscape, companies can no longer rely solely on internal development. Strategic partnerships have become essential to accelerate innovation, share R&D risks and costs, and unlock access to critical technologies and intellectual property. The real challenge? Turning promising conversations into structured, high-performing collaborations.
This session explores how to design, assess and execute corporate partnering initiatives across different collaboration models, each with its own dynamics, risks and success factors. From defining scope and aligning expectations to negotiating robust agreements, we focus on the practical building blocks of effective partnerships.
Because ultimately, strong collaboration is not just about opportunity, it’s about clarity, alignment and execution.
