I Think that corporates and startups should invest time in aligning their expectations and objectives. Corporates should understand that startups often prioritize market access over funding, while startups should recognize that corporates seek both internal improvements and new offerings for customers. A thorough onboarding process that fosters clear communication of needs and goals can prevent misalignments.

This week, corporate innovation leaders were asked, "How do you define innovation?" Webster’s Dictionary defines it as a new idea, method, or device, or the introduction of something new. But as corporate innovators, we know that innovation isn’t just about creating something new—it’s about delivering a valued outcome. It’s about solving real problems, commercializing solutions, and driving meaningful revenue. Innovation is the art of bringing together people and technology to tackle valuable challenges. It takes courage—to try, to fail, to refine, and to try again. Surrounded by product innovations that are making a tangible impact, I felt deep admiration for the innovators journey—from ideation to the 3M Innovation Center show floor. Thank you to LaunchMN and 3M for fostering a space for innovators to connect and grow. Special thanks to Cordell Hardy at Cargill for recognizing and celebrating our innovation wins and to Brandon Berg at Andersen Windows for a dynamic discussion on acceleration and incubation. I'm curious, what’s your favorite innovation—past or present? Let’s celebrate the innovators journey! #Innovation #CorporateInnovation #VC #Startups #EmergingTech #Leadership

Join the conversation. Innovation is everyone’s business. Converge thinking. Mindset shifts. Be a part of the change.

The upcoming ISO56001 standard on Innovation management is going to really sort the wood from the trees, when it comes to organisations who SAY that they are innovative. You'll see it as a pre-requisite on tenders, you'll see it as product or service differentiator, even in company valuations! Navigating a standard can be daunting at first - so we've done the thinking for you! Join us at Irish Manufacturing Research on Wednesday for a first look at our easy to use handbook. #supportingSMEs #innovation
