The 2024 edition will shine a spotlight on two key investment channels that are pivotal to the success of emerging startups: Venture Capital (VC) and Corporate Venture Capital (CVC). Both channels play unique roles in the innovation ecosystem, driving growth, scaling new technologies, and facilitating the commercial success of startups.
Venture Capital (VC) remains a cornerstone of entrepreneurial finance, offering startups not just capital but also guidance, mentorship, and networking opportunities. VCs invest in high-potential startups, fueling their growth and enabling them to disrupt markets with innovative solutions.
Corporate Venture Capital(CVC), on the other hand, represents a strategic investment approach where established corporations invest in startups to gain access to new technologies, business models, and market insights. This symbiotic relationship allows corporations to stay ahead of industry trends while providing startups with the resources and expertise needed to scale.
The CII Investors' Conference 2024 will feature insightful discussions, panel sessions, and networking opportunities focused on these investment channels. Our goal is to foster collaborations that drive technological advancement and economic growth, creating a vibrant ecosystem where innovation thrives.
