Why:
William Gibson famously said, “The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed.”
It’s time for large companies to understand their role in scaling up this future. When innovation is relegated just to small teams and a select few large tech companies, the future ends up very uneven. Unfortunately, while the last year has been a catalyst for unprecedented change, far too few companies have participated in this transformation.
This year’s Corporate Entrepreneurship Forum will explore the future that is here and how each of us can play a role in scaling that to make the world a better place.
WHO:
Only the brave and bold should consider participating - if you’re at a mid-size or large company who sees yourself as generating growth, innovation, new products and services, spirit of entrepreneurship, speed, vitality, and ability to attract great new talent, then this forum is for you.
