Leaders from growth accelerator Mach49 will speak this week at the Global Corporate Venturing (GCV) Symposium in London. Mach49 partners with Global 1000 corporations to drive growth through venture investing, strategic partnerships and targeted M&A.
At the symposium, Mach49 representatives will lead a keynote and panel discussions on how a multifaceted investment strategy builds a bridge between the corporate and startup worlds to power new forms of impact and collaboration.
Kevin Ye, Mach49 Managing Partner of Venture Investing, believes corporate venture investing is a powerful way for corporations to have an outsized impact on global problems like climate change.
He said: “Every corporate dollar that’s invested well, aligns the incentives of the most influential entities that drive our industries, encouraging them to do the important work needed in the world: moving the needle on solving the world’s most pressing problems, including climate change, energy, education, disease, population health and water.”
Data from GCV shows that, while venture capital activity decreased worldwide by 25% in 2022, corporate-backed venture capital deals declined by just 2%. In the UK, Germany and France, the number of deals increased by 21% year over year.
At the GCV Symposium, TDK Ventures will be sharing how they have chosen London as the site of its first outpost in Europe and have earmarked an additional $150 million to their assets under management for early-stage startups.
Kathryn Scheckel, Managing Director and Head of Global Venture Lab at Hines, will also be at the symposium to discuss how the company is rethinking the boundaries of real estate around the world through innovative ventures, partnerships and human-centric solutions.
Mach49 was founded on the belief that global businesses have the scale, reach and resources to tackle the world’s biggest challenges and accelerate startup solutions to faster and wider impact.
