Hello 2016: A year where innovation is on top of every CEO’s agenda. In fact, it has been there for some time – so what is different? Well, the entrepreneurs have entered the corporate meeting room, and it looks like they are there to stay. Forget about founders of startups as external threats that might disrupt your business. Now, they are becoming sources of knowledge and technology that will strengthen your company’s capacity for change.

With Rainmaking Summit we invite you to take a cue from market leaders like Virgin, Cisco and Rabobank, and let startup thinking influence your strategy for the future. We give you a conference that highlights the corporate community’s best innovation initiatives + their collaborations with young companies. We will explore how corporates give startups access to big data, specialist expertise, and distribution channels. And develop partnerships that move them both forward.

Rainmaking Summits collects all the different ways of bridging an established industry with a fresh approach. From launching a work space for startups within your headquarters, to spearheading an accelerator and using entrepreneurs as a laboratory for ventures into unknown territory.

Take note. Share ideas. And leave again with a bag full of new tools.
