Road 2 Web Summit: Corporate Edition

AICEP, Turismo de Portugal and a Beta-i teamed up to organize the Road 2 Web Summit: Corporate Edition.

Betting on innovation is such a contentious concept these days that it is already a must in the business world. But is there one right way to do it? Develop a solution internally? Collaborate with a Startup? How can you incorporate Startup dynamics and speed into established business? What are the best methodologies at our disposal? What are the best practices in the world? And what Startups  should you work with, in such a dynamic universe where every day a new project appears to us?

It was in response to these and other issues in the corporate innovation world that we decided to create this edition of Road 2 Web Summit.

Our guest keynote speaker was Jessica Stacey, senior partner at Bethnal Green Ventures and former Program Manager at Neste. With a vast experience without world innovation and Startups, we invited her to speak to us about the most interesting and impactful methodologies of innovation and acceleration of Startups.

Maria Antónia Saldanha, from SIBS, also participated in the "Why Startups Matter: From a Corporate Perspective", sharing SIBS's experience in the relationship with startups.

One highlight was the session on How to Reverse the Pace, where we shared the best pitching practices for companies. The afternoon was dedicated in full to speed meetings, 15-minute meetings, where the participants of the event met Portuguese Startups that will be at the Web Summit, getting to know your products and services better.
