PARTNERSHIPS: Corporate Innovation - The challenges and opportunities of collaborating with Startups

The question how to accelerate digital transformation is the elephant in the room. Two known German corporates SAP and Bosch have a track record of working together with startups at different development stages (from early to later stage). In theory it is easy, corporates have an innovation demand, startups are by definition innovation. But how easy is it in reality? The panelists will share insights and stories of failures and successes in corporate-startup collaboration.

PARTNERSHIPS: Internationalisation - Employer of Record vs Employ through Own Office

Decarbonized Investments in Europe and Asia

A new wave of technology companies and a new wave of investors have emerged with a drive and commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Europe has been leading the way since the Paris Agreement in implementing changes that help limit global warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius, mainly through governance initiatives and policies that the world started to follow. Asian countries on the other hand only started to announce net zero plans and related commitments in 2020, but the buzz in ecosystems, policy circles and the activity of the corporate and finance world have been picking up. As Asia contributes to more than 50% of the world's CO2 emissions this is important. It is well understood that technology is essential to achieve decarbonization targets, regardless of the region. Our panel of investors, active in either, or both continents will discuss the similarities and the differences in trends, the challenges and opportunities for specific technology's scale and adoption. We will also debate whether climate tech is a cleantech bubble 2.0 or the real deal.

PEOPLE: Building the future with Music & Healthcare – the Indonesian way

The Metaverse has been a hot topic in the digital space as many industries are beginning to understand its potential and challenges. In this panel we will discuss with early adopters from Indonesia, representing the music and healthcare industry. They will share their perspective of the Indonesian way of building the future with Metaverse.

Claudia Siregar is leading this panel. As a German-Indonesian entrepreneur, who started her first company in Singapore over a decade ago, she says: “with soon 300 million inhabitants and an internet penetration rate at 73.7%, the democratic and multi-ethnic country, with the largest Muslim population globally, is still too often overseen, especially in Europe and Germany, as one of Asia´s digital giants.”

With Indonesia´s - gotong royong - way, which is deeply culturally rooted and far more than collaboration or working together, we hope our panel contributes to how to look at Creative and Digital Indonesia, and its global role, from now onwards.
