"Best Practice Co-Creation - Do's and Don'ts in joint projects between start-ups and corporates"
Learn first-hand how successful collaboration between young companies and established corporates works - and what to avoid:
Co-creation is not just a trend, it's the future of innovation. This approach is a game changer. Start-ups, companies and public players no longer view solutions in isolation, but develop, test and optimize them together - always with their finger on the pulse of the actual needs of users and customers. Everyone benefits from shared access to knowledge and resources: start-ups secure faster market access; established organizations remain agile and future-oriented. In this way, co-creation becomes the engine for strong, sustainable and inclusive innovation ecosystems.
However, this collaboration rarely succeeds from scratch and directly from zero to one hundred. That's why we would like to give you an exclusive and direct insight into a successful co-creation project from the SCE cosmos in the form of a panel on the evening: how the startup PANTOhealth and the Häfen und Güterverkehr GmbH Köln AG have carried out a successful co-creation project together.
Our panelists:
- Thomas Hermanns - Head of Digitalization, Process and Quality Management HGK AG
- Farzad Vesali - CEO & Founder PANTOhealth
- David Photien - Managing Director SCE Projects GmbH
- Moderation: Prof. Dr. Bettina Maisch - Professor for Entrepreneurship at Munich University of Applied Sciences
