Accelerating the development of smart cities

• Leading the chance on healthy and sustainable buildings

  How can large corporations collaborate effectively with smaller, agile organisations to discover and explore concepts and prototypes that help accelerate the development of sustainable buildings and communities?
• 55% of the world’s population currently lives in urban areas

  This number is expected to increase rapidly by 2050, especially in population dense areas such as Asia. Cities are turning to smart technology to tackle some of the more prominent issues and address sustainability.
• New resource implementation holds back the development of smart cities.

  Smart city initiatives that are struggling or have failed are often overly focused on the technology instead of providing practical solutions. Building an initiative that brings benefit back to a city, the people and business is a key focus of smart cities to achieve success.
• [Panel] SDG 11 – Why building sustainable cities through collaboration is the future

  Today, more than half of the world’s population is living in cities, and that share is projected to rise to 60% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. In this panel talk we will be speaking to industry leaders and innovators about their insights on making cities the source of solutions to, rather than the cause of, the challenges that our world is facing today.

• Navigate uncertainty in fast-evolving markets to map the future of business

  We work with our clients to build a clear view of fast-evolving markets so that we can identify the opportunities they’re best positioned to own.
• Solve key business problems with the world’s most innovative startups

  We facilitate collaboration between startups and large organisations to deliver real value, faster than either party can achieve on their own.
• Unlock new ideas and future growth at the heart of your organisation

  We leverage a mix of robust methodologies, practices, and governance for entrepreneurship to thrive within large organisations, delivering transformative new growth.
• Develop new, future-proof business models outside of your core business

  We partner with corporations to de-risk the process of creating new future-proof business models that have the potential to contribute significantly to group profits within 5-7 years.

• Co-create value

  We believe the best results are achieved when we work together throughout a process, leveraging the best of both organisations. We do not like supplier-buyer relationships. We want to work together with large companies as partners.
• Focus on tangible results

  We’re not in the game of innovation theatre – we focus on creating tangible business results.
• Shared risk and rewards

  We believe in having aligned interests and sharing risks and rewards. We make this real by offering to re-invest a significant portion of fees into the next phase of pursuing opportunities identified.
