Open innovation calls, development projects, customer relations,
strategic investment - the possibilities for cooperation
between start-ups and corporates are at least as diverse as the
events on this topic.

The theory sounds simple: cooperation = added value for all
parties involved. The cooperation and pitching event "Klein MIT Groß" on
25.4.2023 from 16.30 clock in the Kraftzentrale Straubing looks a little deeper and
asks: Does practice confirm this assumption? Can cooperations with
sustainability-focused start-ups as innovation drivers for
Sustainability Challenges from industry and SMEs? What
pitfalls must be overcome in order to create a benefit?

In the first part of the event, start-up-corporate collaborations will be discussed from
different perspectives in the form of keynote speeches by High-Tech
Gründerfonds, SIHL, Kelheim Fibres & SUMO (Tandem). The second
part will start with reverse pitches on specific sustainability issues of corporate
issues of corporates. Among them: Wacker AG, Südzucker Group, SONAX,
Dichtungstechnik Wallstabe+Schneider and more. In subsequent
roundtables and networking, initial approaches to solving the challenges and
challenges and further cooperation initiatives can be deepened.

The event is organised by BioCampus Straubing GmbH via the Projekt PlanB in cooperation with Chemie-Cluster Bayern.
