FGB lancia la sua partnership con Switch Pitch

/ Blog / Di

FGB annuncia la sua partnership con Switch Pitch, la piattaforma  globale online per l’incontro tra grandi aziende e start up.

Grazie a SwitchPitch le imprese italiane avranno la possibilità di trovare start up con soluzioni innovative accedendo alla piattaforma di engagement Startup Relationship Management. Inoltre FGB metterà a disposizione uno strumento di valutazione per aiutare le imprese a definire il valore tecnologico delle start up stesse.

La partnership si caratterizza principalmente per tre azioni:

  1. promozione della piattaforma SRM (SwitchPitch’s startup relationship management) tra le imprese italiane ed europee,
  2. promozione dei servizi di consulenza per l’innovazione offerti da FGB facendo leva sulla piattaforma SwitchPitch,
  3. lancio di un evento congiunto sull’innovazione a Milano per la promozione di programmi di innovazione per imprese dedicato alle start up che saranno invitate.

In Italia sono molte le imprese che coinvolgono le start up nei loro progetti attraverso un approccio di open innovation. Nonostante questo la piattaforma SwitchPitch, ben conosciuta in molti stati europei, non ha ancora preso piede in Italia. FGB con il suo network di acceleratori sul territorio italiano ricopre un ruolo importante nell’ecosistema delle start up e rappresenta quindi una grande risorsa per le imprese a livello nazionale.

FGB e SwitchPitch stanno, inoltre, pianificando un evento a Milano per mettere in connessione le start up innovative con le imprese europee. Il format dell’evento si baserà sul modello SwitchPitch, vale a dire aziende che fanno pitch alle start up, ma ci sarà qualche novità. Le imprese faranno un pitch sui loro programmi di innovazione e di startup engagement e incontreranno direttamente le principali start up per valutare la loro compatibilità all’interno delle rispettive organizzazion

FGB is excited to announce a partnership with Switch Pitch, the global online platform for match making between large companies and startups. The partnership will have three components:

  1. Promoting SwitchPitch’s startup relationship management (SRM) platform to Italian and European enterprises
  2. Promoting FGB’s innovation consulting services, leveraging SwitchPitch’s platform
  3. Hosting a joint innovation event in Milan promoting enterprise innovation programs to an audience of invite-only startups

Many large Italian companies are focused on startup engagement through open innovation. While SwitchPitch has gained traction and popularity in many European countries, it has no presence or exposure in the Italian market. FGB operates six startup accelerators throughout Italy and is a major player in the Italian startup ecosystem. Having an Italian partner connected to the Italian startup community adds an invaluable resource to Italian enterprise prospects.

Through this new partnership with FGB, SwitchPitch will now offer Italian enterprises a platform for startup engagement, as well as managed services to handle Italian-focused startup research and diligence. FGB also brings a technology valuation tool to help enterprises assess the value of startups’ technology.

FGB and SwitchPitch are planning joint Fall event in Milan to help connect innovative startups with European enterprises. The format of the event will follow SwitchPitch’s previous event model – large companies pitching to startups – with one important change. Enterprises will pitch their overall innovation and startup engagement programs – rather than a specific initiative. Enterprise participants will meet one-on-one with relevant startups to better assess fits within their organization.

The combined forces of FGB and SwitchPitch provide a compelling open innovation solution for enterprises; as well as a business development resource for Italian startups. Our partnership combines the platform benefits of SwitchPitch and the high-touch, consultative approach of FGB. FGB is excited to partner with such a well-respected and talented team as Switch Pitch.
