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 />
