Summary
Corporate partnerships can be instrumental to helping food startups succeed. Each brings several strengths to the table: for example, startups with innovation and speed, and corporates with networks and distribution. But startup founders often struggle to get their foot in the door, make a compelling case to corporations, and negotiate agreements. In this inspiring webinar, we speak with stakeholder experts from the Asia-Pacific region (China, Thailand, Singapore, India, and New Zealand) about how foodtech startups can foster relationships effectively with corporations, and how corporations can support startups with their product development and go-to-market needs. It’s no surprise that building trust, clear mutual benefit, and the right timing play a key role.
