LevelUP 2026Partner event
LEVEL UP 2026, the fifth edition of this one-day startup event, takes place and is organized by The Gate, the Brabant Development Agency (BOM), and Braventure. It brings together national and international startups, investors and innovators, with the aim of helping startups accelerate their growth. CVN and RS have been invited to contribute.
During the event, CVN and RSM will host a session on collaborative innovation.
Innovation rarely happens in a one-to-one relationship anymore. Turning new technologies and ideas into real-world solutions increasingly requires an ecosystem of startups, corporates, investors, knowledge institutions and other partners working together.
But when multiple parties are needed to drive innovation, who takes the lead? Who connects the pieces, aligns different interests and ensures that a promising idea actually gets implemented? Traditionally, corporates often played this orchestrating role. But as corporate venturing activities are being reconsidered or scaled back, that role is becoming less obvious.
In this session, we explore the shift from corporate venturing to collaborative venturing. What does innovation in consortia mean for startups? What roles can different partners play, who becomes the orchestrator, and most importantly: how can you position your startup to become an essential part of the ecosystem?
