On May 12th, I had the privilege of running a full-day Corporate Venturing workshop with the Omexom innovation network at VINCI Leonard in Paris, alongside my colleague Yves Colinet.

I recently sat down for Novable Voice with Adèle Yaroulina, author of Collaborate to Innovate and creator of the Co-Innovation Builder. Our host Yves Colinet put us in the same room to interrogate a question we have both spent years circling from different angles: why do large organizations need startups more than ever, while remaining the least equipped to absorb them?

Last week, Euroconsumers hosted a dedicated workshop on the Corporate Venturing Framework (CVF) to explore how structured collaboration with startups can accelerate the organisation’s 2027 strategic agenda.

Another 2-day Innov8rs conference in Berlin, the corporate innovation community gathering yearly to exchange experiences and learn from peers. I had the privilege to host a workshop on Open innovation challenges and to co-moderate another session on AI in corporate innovation practices.

Laurent introduced the Corporate Readiness Assessment Model for B2B founders who want to facilitate partnership opportunities with corporates. It was at the first edition of the Startup Marketing Clinic in Brussels.
