Key quotes
“The function of corporate venturing is here to stay in companies. It is growing and maturing. ” Luis Emilio Martinez Gavira, ENAGÁS.
“The current situation is nothing like it was 10 years ago when open innovation was an academic concept, although there is still a long way to go. There is a lack of company innovation units in business units.” Mikel Lasa, EIT InnoEnergy.
“When you talk to SMEs about all these dynamics, there is a lack of knowledge and a certain amount of fear. The next edition of BIND 4.0 will engage SMEs to create a cultural change and evolve.” Leyre Madariaga, Basque Government.
“We have identified a barrier in companies due to the lack of an open innovation strategy and, for this reason, Bizkaia Provincial Council has launched a specific grant to tackle collaborative innovation plans.” Joseba Mariezkurrena, Bizkaia Provincial Council:
“There are two barriers we need to address: appetite for risk is a barrier that needs to be changed from a cultural point of view, and deep-tech start-ups have a potential impact nationally and require very significant levels of investment.” Andrés Galnares, H2SITE.
