FIGURE 2: FOUR CORPORATE VENTURING TOOLS<br />

Source knowledge and network<br />

The Center for Corporate Venturing Switzerland (CCVS) was created<br />

with the aim of helping corporations to navigate the complexity<br />

of decisions related to Corporate Venturing and to provide firms<br />

with a powerful network of key stakeholders in Switzerland. Initiated<br />

by three players highly active in the startup ecosystem – The<br />

Swiss <strong>Startup</strong> Factory, Wenger & Vieli, and the Center for Entrepreneurship<br />

from the University of St. Gallen (HSG) – the CCVS is perfectly<br />

positioned to integrate knowledge from different worlds: investor,<br />

corporate, academic and, last but not least, entrepreneurial.<br />

By joining the CCVS, innovation and venture leaders acquire the<br />

know-how and individual support to drive successful Corporate<br />

Venturing initiatives from start to end, from fixing objectives and<br />

choosing the right tools to setting-up innovation structures and<br />

executing startup collaborations. Corporate representatives form<br />

long-lasting relationships with the diverse startup ecosystem and<br />

acquire its DNA to further transmit it to the organization and drive<br />

change. For more information, visit the CCVS LinkedIn page below.<br />
