We’re assembling the world’s largest community of corporate strategy, innovation, M&A, and corporate venture practitioners at The Collective (Dec 10-11, NYC).
Here are 5 things you can expect:
Dig into the playbooks of executives from Goldman Sachs, Adobe, Qualcomm, and 25 other companies to see how they’re driving growth.
Detailed case studies on CVC, innovation, and corporate M&A strategies. (Take a look at some videos from last year’s event here.)
3000+ 1:1 meetings with your executive-level peers in our meeting lounge.
Keynote address and analyst deep dives from CB Insights’ all-star team. (Check out a video of last year’s presentation here.)
No sales pitches, no pay-to-play speakers, no bu11sh*t.
Fashion could be the next industry on Google’s “To Disrupt” list. The tech giant was recently granted a patent for a smart garment that captures biometric data from users.
A family-owned market in the San Francisco Bay Area is now selling produce from a nearby farm run by robots.
The farm, operated by startup Iron Ox, isn’t completely automated yet — humans plant the seeds and package the produce after harvest, but robots do the rest.
Indoor hydroponic farms like Iron Ox reportedly use 90% less water than typical outdoor farms, which means they could be a big help in addressing the challenges of feeding ~10B people by 2050.
