Corporate - Startup Collaboration for a Sustainable Future
During Oslo Innovation Week, we invite corporates and startups to discuss ways to collaborate to co-develop sustainable solutions
About
Startup Norway aims to bring the startups and corporates to a roundtable format of discussion to highlight the challenges and opportunities that come with collaborating and co-developing products and services for a more sustainable world.
Consumers will always go for the better product, with sustainability being the added value to it. So, the challenge is for companies to find a way to combine sustainability with high quality delivery, without prioritizing one over the other.
CORPORATE STRENGTHS
Companies have the size and distribution power on their end, but innovation tends to be treated with cautiousness.
STARTUP STRENGTHS
Startups have seed & flexibility in how to address a challenge and how to solve it, but lack access to a large testing ground.
COLLABORATION
Collaboration is critical for efficient & profitable sustainability practices, but can these two sides collaborate over the culture gap in their operational model?
How can corporates and startups align on the innovation front without competing and instead, create a win-win solution?
