1:20 PM CORPORATE VENTURING: The Coca-Cola Company’s creation of Red Garage Ventures to Drive Internal Disruption
Red Garage operates as a venture builder/start-up studio partnering with The Coca-Cola Company. Their independence is key to moving with speed, keeping lean and building value.

- Why innovation inside of an existing corporation is so difficult and how companies can employ the tools and processes successful start-ups use to drive innovation
- How corporates can innovate leveraging their assets and startup thinking to exploit new growth areas
- Outlining the Red Garage Ventures concept and what to consider when setting up a corporate venture fund
- Ensuring successful commercialization and acceleration of a start up by leveraging the “mother ship” assets, relationships and being a key R&D customer
