WHAT IS VENTURE BUILDING?

Corporate Venture building is a service provided by an external partner to set up an independent company - “Startup”. Purpose of the startup is to build a business based on the strategic value for the corporate client identified in the problem statement. 

 

This is the unique approach that KX is now introducing to the industry to tackle some of the most complex challenges. 

 

We would like to welcome our partners to an exclusive event where we will share a bit more details on this approach as well as showcase our current capabilities at the KX.

This event will focus on common organizational challenges that we have encountered so far:

What?

Corporate venture capital struggle finding local investable startups that are aligned to their core business strategy.

Who?

Startups often lack the perfect combination of skills, experience, know-how and actual deep-tech that is desired by the industry.

Heh?

Local Industry has a unique demand for innovation, flexibility and speed that international tech giants often fail to satisfy. 

PROTOTYPE LAB

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INNOVATION

During the event, we will present the capabilities of our newly built Prototype Lab with the latest equipment for PCB prototype & PCB assembly as well as 3D printing and much more. 

 

Guests will be introduced to the potential of the food maker space that can be designed in a partnership to commercialise and validate concepts in the market.
