Valuable statistics from the Unilever Foundry and the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) quantifying the commercial and economic input of collaboration between large firms and scaleups.
Provides affirmative corroboration for those increasing number of organisations building their own incubators.
Also supports those growing voices among large corporates demanding that their professional service providers improve their practices on diversity and inclusion if they wish to continue having them as their clients (e.g. the recent Open Letter by 170 General Counsels to Law Firm Partners).
The report closes with a thought-provoking conclusion:
"Businesses which are looking for the next stage of growth may find that a more collaborative culture unlocks streams of revenue in unfamiliar places."
Collaboration is a virtuous cycle of beneficial outcomes. Businesses which are looking for the next stage of growth may find that a more collaborative culture unlocks streams of revenue in unfamiliar places. We hope this report encourages more businesses to push the understanding of what’s possible, feeding into what consumers need, both today and tomorrow.
