Thought Leader Interview with Michael Holman
July 2025
Innovation hubs — incubators, accelerators, and other clusters — are playing an increasingly vital role in developing transformative technologies in fields like climate, circularity, and AI. How can corporate innovation teams engage effectively with these hubs? What role can they play in building the new ecosystems and value chains that will bring these technologies to market? This webinar presents the results of a new study based on 35+ interviews, highlighting the opportunities, strategies and best practices for partnerships between corporate teams and outside innovation hubs.
