They moved away from accelerators and physical incubators to focus on: Venture Client model - through its open innovation unit TIM WCAP - to develop win-win collaborations between TIM and its factories (Olivetti, Noovle, Telsy) and international scaleups Investments - through TIM Ventures - both directly and indirectly as anchor LP of third party VC funds (such as UV T-Growth and Northgate in the US) Goal: Going beyond communications and laying the foundation of the TIM of tomorrow, as also shown by the recent investment (with a leading role) in the Series C round of Italian poster child scaleup Satispay.

The SAP intrapreneurship programme is a company-wide, internal scouting programme. The most promising of those scouted projects enter SAP Venture Studio, that is a venture building unit aimed at turning them into commercial businesses. The programme was revamped in 2015 and since then has assessed something in the region of 3000 ideas and produced 3 businesses, one of which has gone on to become its own business unit. In this Mind the Chat we deep dive into the program with A...lexandra Begue, Head of Growth, SAP.iO Intrapreneurship. Note: Alexandra took part in the 2018 cohort with a project to speed up clinical research into cancer. Her idea didn’t make it through to the venture builder, but she was so inspired by the process she ended up transferring to work for the innovation team, to coach other people on how to get their ideas through.

What do VCs such Next47, AV8 Ventures, Propel, Mouro Capital and Sapphire Ventures, LLC have in common? "They are all sort of 'disguised' CVCs. Their fund’s backers are respectively Siemens, Allianz, BBVA, Grupo Santander and SAP. But: they act (and want to be perceived) as independent funds" - our Chairman Alberto Onetti explains in his last LK post covered by Sifted's "Good Reads". Want to get more? ...

La tendenza che vediamo anche in Italia, comune ad altri Paesi europei, è che in passato l'innovazione faceva parte della ricerca e sviluppo, oggi sta diventando un'area distinta dell'organizzazione, che riporta a un C-Level dedicato ed è articolata in specifiche aree di azione. Nel presentare i tratti salienti del rapporto Open Innovation Outlook Italy 2021, in occasione della giornata inaugurale di Smau Milano 2020, il Chairman di Mind the Bridge, Alberto Onetti, ...ha messo l'accento sul fattore forse più importante che sta accompagnando la lenta (ma costante) marcia di avvicinamento delle aziende italiane verso quei soggetti (le startup) che possono loro garantire freschezza e velocità di idee per l'adozione delle nuove tecnologie.

Nonostante la distanza "siderale" che separa l'ecosistema italiano delle startup dagli ecosistemi stranieri in termini di raccolta del capitale (e non solo), Alberto Onetti, chairman di Mind the Bridge, non esita a vedere il bicchiere mezzo pieno. Il sistema delle grandi imprese italiane ha fatto qualche passo in avanti, anche se c'è chi si è mosso più e chi si è mosso meno. Il miglioramento però è evidente, sia sul lato della strutturazione di processi più aperti e collabo...rativi, che testimonia l'attribuzione di una valenza strategica all'open innovation. Sia in termini di lancio di iniziative che nel lungo periodo potranno dare risultati interessanti. Gli insight dell'ultima edizione dell'Open Innovation Outlook Italy, realizzato in collaborazione con Smau, commentati in anteprima su la Repubblica A&F da Andrea Frollà.
