In the sixties, the average lifespan of a company on the S&P 500 Index was almost 60 years. That number now stands at 20 and is likely to shrink to just 12 years by 2027. The big names run the risk of fading into obscurity unless they future-proof their organization by being agile enough to adapt and innovate. One way to do so is to collaborate  with startups and access emerging talent pools, learn about innovative new technologies and practices and diversify their existing investment portfolio. 


To understand the why and the how of these collaborations, CII Centre of Excellence for Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Startups (CII-CIES) is holding a Masterclass on Why Corporates should work with startups on innovation and R&D. It has been designed by practicing Industry leaders to give C-Suite Executives a clear view of the innovation arena in the country and how to enter it. This is the second edition of the Masterclass and is being organized on popular demand!

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
While any individual interested in the innovation landscape will find this Masterclass interesting, it has been designed keeping in mind Chief Innovation Officers, Business Strategists and Senior Executives.
