CORPORATE VENTURES
Today's marketplace is characterized by fast-paced and unremitting competition on a global scale. To survive in this environment, companies need a level of innovation, speed and flexibility that was unheard of even a decade ago. In this world where innovators are kings establishing a venture capital program becomes strategically important.
Venturing is an essential tool for every company that intends to be a leader in a world that is increasingly technology driven. Corporate venturing is the best way to intelligently and successfully test and launch innovative corporate growth strategies. Venturing drives corporate strategy by harnessing internal and external innovation while limiting financial risks.
For many companies, a corporate venture capital initiative is mandatory for continued growth and profitability. In today’s global marketplace the consequences of not venturing could be fatal to many companies in the long term.
Long term growth and competitiveness cannot be maintained without innovation and the generation of new ventures.
Two compelling points underscores the importance of venturing:
-
Companies that are market leaders continually innovate and transform their business. It is important to understand that innovation is one of the toughest activities for any business, especially a successful business, to achieve.
To succeed at innovation, companies need ideas from inside and outside their organization. They need a way to bring these ideas to fruition. Inside the corporation, innovation emanates from groups such as research and development, corporate development, and business development. Outside the corporation, new ventures are the main way new ideas are brought to life.
