On April 20, 2023, Scaleup Flanders is organizing an inspiring day dedicated to the collaboration between corporates and scaleups.

‍

Business collaboration is essential in today's rapidly changing economic environment. It enables companies to pool resources, knowledge and expertise to achieve common goals and address increasingly complex challenges. By working together, corporates can move faster and innovate, while smaller companies can serve new partners and customers. Partnerships between corporates and scaleups can take many forms, such as licensing agreements, joint ventures or equity investments. They can focus on technology development or market expansion.
