Advanced Training Forum

​The first edition of the Advanced Training Forum, organized in collaboration with Edison, is dedicated to exploring how organizations can extract real strategic value from corporate venturing practices - connecting strategic foresight, innovation, and implementation through an end-to-end organizational approach.

​The Forum is built around the idea that corporate venturing creates impact only when it is rooted in a strategic understanding of the future. Foresight is not treated as an isolated exercise, but as the organizational capability that enables companies to identify weak signals, interpret emerging discontinuities, and translate those insights into innovation priorities, partnership models, and venturing decisions.

​The program will combine lectures, interactive discussions, practical exercises, and peer exchange to help participants reflect on the maturity of their own organizational approaches to innovation and external collaboration.

​The session will feature international speakers from academia, consulting, and industry, including:
• Vibha Gaba (INSEAD)
• Jessica Prendergast (Future Impacts Consulting)
• Tobias Gutmann (EBS Business School)
