Why this report matters

Collaboration between corporations and external actors is often seen as a promising route to innovation. Yet in practice, these relationships are not always easy to build, carry forward, or sustain over time.

This report looks more closely at how corporate–startup collaboration develops in real organizational settings — how expectations are formed, where collaboration gains traction, and what helps it become more meaningful in practice.

What will be inside

The report will explore the practical realities of collaboration between corporations and external innovation actors.

It will bring together key observations, recurring themes, and a structured perspective on how collaboration takes shape, where it becomes difficult, and what helps it develop in ways that are useful for both sides.
