Want a sneak peek into what happens when entrepreneurs from different corporates work side-by-side on their ventures?

We have just released our new Pioneers.Peak '22 Aftermovie. In the Peak Pre-Seed phase, seven teams from different companies worked side-by-side to validate market opportunities, build and test prototypes and develop a roadmap for implementation. With Peak, we support corporate teams through all stages of development, from pre-seed to growth, with the help of expert coaches and access to a growing network of corporate innovators.

Our Pioneers Anton Schilling, Denise Alessia Steger, Michael Wlaschitz and Michael Obrist were excited to lead the climb to the Peak and are already preparing for the next journey in 2023. 🏔
Thanks also to the speakers from Porsche Holding, Carola Seyr, Loreta Maddaluno, OMV, Rinsche Sherry, Federico Ferretto, Bosch and student Stefanie Schoenberger.

If you want to join us next time and take part in the pre-seed phase in September 2023, check out our website!

Did you know that cities cover 3% of the world's surface yet are responsible for more than 70% of all carbon emissions? 🤔

As more than 70% percent of the world's population is set to live in urban areas by 2025, it is clear that cities need to become more sustainable.

This is why smart regions have become more important than ever. But what is a smart region and how can it help tackle climate change?

As part of the Pioneers.Peak closing event we had three amazing corporate venture founders sharing their insights and learnings along the corporate startup rollercoaster.

Our Corporate Venture Panel "The Rise and Fall of Corporate Ventures" starred the C-venture founders Robert Steinboeck, MOON POWER GmbH (Porsche Holding), Thomas Mahringer, PLANCISE (TGW Logistics Group), and Tamara Stix, eve & i (RoX Health).

We took away 5 main from the discussion:

💡 The team is more important than the solution you’re working on. Bring people into your corporate venture team that have experience in startups but also people that are experienced in the topic matters.

💡 It is difficult to bring external startup founders into the corporate venture. You need to give them perspective and the reassurance that they can bring the startup to life in their way despite the corporate setting.

💡 Steering the different interests of lots of stakeholders is difficult in a corporate venture and requires much more time and attention than in a startup on the open market.

💡 It is crucial for the management to give the entrepreneurs the freedom and flexibility in navigating the venture. Only then, testing fast and iterating is possible also in the corporate environment.

💡 Corporate ventures have strong advantages at the beginning of their lifetime, as they have money, time and expertise from the start. Later in the development, however, they lack speed and flexibility in adapting their offerings to market needs, compared to independent startups.

How sustainable is the building you live in? 🏫

The World Green Building Council has found that buildings
and construction account for a massive 39% of all carbon emissions in the world, with 28% being related to energy expended in lighting, heating, and cooling buildings (operational carbon) and the remaining 11 % from energy use, related to producing construction materials (embodied carbon).

What about the climate impact of the manufacturing sector? 🏭

While the manufacturing and production sectors are key drivers for economic growth, comprising 16% of global GDP, activity from these sectors also poses serious environmental risks that must be collaboratively addressed.

Future-proofing manufacturing requires operations to change and products to be redesigned to use less energy and more recycled materials.

Did you know that food systems are responsible for 20.1 % of global GHG emissions, with the largest
contribution coming from agriculture and land use activities, but food waste is also a major contributing factor? 🚜

This is why startups in Agricultural Technology are working on sustainable solutions. Agriculture has the potential to be a climate solution rather than a greenhouse gas contributor.

In our climate tech landscape report you can find out more about them.
