In round table discussions, the participants will discuss the challenges and opportunities from various perspectives.

Meet us at 10 at the room Nobelterassen.

2) Key Success Factors for Corporates Collaborating with Startups
Ignite Head of Sales Coaching, Christian Malmsten, will share insights from his experiences in developing a new handbook for corporations on best practices when doing business with startups following the Ignite model. The workshop aims to facilitate engaging round table discussions, enabling participants to share their perspectives, identify additional success factors, and discuss practical applications within their respective organizations.
Meet us at 10 at the room Mälarsalen.

3) From Ignite Need Assessment to Startup Scouting
Join us for an immersive workshop where we will guide incubator representatives through the Ignite Process, starting from need assessment all the way to scouting.
During this workshop, an Ignite member will openly share their specific needs on stage. Together, we will embark on a scouting journey, collectively exploring the Ignite process. By actively participating in the scouting process, attendees will gain valuable insights into how to identify and engage with promising startups aligned with the corporate and public sector innovation challenges and needs.
