ABOUT CORPORATE INNOVATION AT SBC

What is Impactful Corporate Innovation?

SBC works with corporate partners to benchmark, enhance, and embed innovation within their corporation. This ranges from working with in-house teams to transforming corporate venturing. We have developed tailored approaches to address a wide range of corporate innovation challenges.

SBC can support your organisation in one of four ways:

  1. Corporate innovation: Where rapid ideation, experimentation, and validation to bring new products and services to life. We collaborate with you to understand your customers, work with your existing team to think outside-of-the-box, and innovate to deliver value that appeals to your customers without the traditional timelines associated with testing a new product in the market.
  2. Accelerator Program Partner: Corporate partners work with SBC to establish the unique themes for the program to identify startups and scale-ups that have potential synergies with their business. Each innovation program is designed to enable corporate/startup collaboration, allowing our partners to find new lines of revenue, provide solutions for their customers, gain innovation insights, improve internal processes, and leapfrog competition by innovating faster. The goal is to unleash the agility and disruptive nature of startups in a structured program to best collaborate with large corporations, achieve their business goals, and fulfil a common purpose.
  3. Whitelabal Accelerators powered by Startupbootcamp: Knowing what your organisation is good at and delivering that to a high-stand as an organisation is always the number on priority. However, most organisations have ambitious sustainable goals and are expected to be on top of the latest developments in society, the economy, and technology as well. SBC creates and executes accelerator programs within your organisation that provide access to our diverse network of startup and mentors. Our programs also position your organisation as a frontrunner in innovation and digitisation. We find and support startups that rapidly increase your innovation efforts, all under the umbrella of your brand.
  4. Venture Building: Working with your people, we can assist with building new ventures, including sourcing investment funds, finding startup resources, and providing key services to help to grow from zero to 1 and beyond.
For Corporates

"Two years ago the Victorian Clean Technology Fund (VCTF) began a strategic partnership with Startupbootcamp, to back the Energy Next accelerator program. Startupbootcamp’s global networks have attracted high quality local and international teams to the accelerator and the participants have all made real progress over the 12 week intensive. We’ve been impressed by the quality of both the program and the Startupbootcamp team – and we’ve really enjoyed the opportunity to get involved with the program delivery. Energy Next has provided VCTF with a strong new pipeline of early-stage investment opportunities."
