Delft Startup Night – Corporate Entrepreneurship Edition

While startups and entrepreneurship often take the limelight, the panel will explore how many leading companies implement corporate entrepreneurship strategies to accelerate innovation by intentionally tapping into startup ecosystems as customers, investors, partners or buyers. At the individual level, the panel will also discuss why recruiting or training employees with entrepreneurial skills and competencies is a powerful asset to help an organisation innovate and stay competitive.

Why should you care? The case will be made that even if launching a startup is not your ambition, gaining experiences that help build an entrepreneurial mindset and behaviours will benefit future employability and career growth. To re-purpose the famous saying from Steve Jobs, you don’t have to choose between being a pirate and joining the navy.

To keep Delft Startup Night Corporate Entrepreneurship Edition spicy, the panel will comprise representatives of exceptionally innovative leading global companies:

𝐀𝐒𝐌𝐋 – Ceyda Kucuk, Group Lead D&E Onsite at ASML

𝐕𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 – Barbara Hofwijks, Vattenfall’s Innovation Country Lead NL

𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 – Rocco van den Berg, Innovation Lead AgriFoodTech Unilever Foundry

The panel chair will be Delft Centre for Entrepreneurship (DCE)‘s director Victor Scholten leading the conversation.

It is the perfect moment for students to learn what Europe’s leading corporations actually think about entrepreneurship and startups, network, and enjoy an interactive, informal evening with pizza and drinks.
