EDB-MACH49 Webinar: Managing the Disruption, Leading the Rebound. |
| |
| Join EDB as we host Mach49 for this interactive webinar where they will share insights and methods to drive new venture creation. |
| |
| As we all ponder the implications of the unfolding crisis, we know that some businesses will pull back, conserve, and wait it out. Visionary leadership, on the other hand, will seize this once-in-a-generation moment to ideate, incubate and accelerate new ventures to disrupt competitors and forge new markets. NOW is the time to build. How should corporates use this downtime to identify opportunity areas and, with agility and speed, begin to develop a pipeline of new ventures to drive meaningful growth? When the dust inevitably settles on these challenging times, how can we emerge stronger and better? Will you lead or be left behind? |
| |
| During this session, you will learn: |
| |
|
• |
Why now, in the midst of a global crisis, is the best time ever to start or invest in a new venture. |
| |
|
• |
How global businesses are beating start-ups at their own game, leveraging their own talent, assets and innovation to build ventures. Learn from case studies of Mach49-launched start-ups Clipsal Solar by Schneider Electric, Pear.AI by RWE and Tulli by Shell. |
