Autopsy of a collaboration | From PoC to Scale: What Makes Pilots Succeed (or Fail)

This session takes a deep dive into the lifecycle of corporate-startup collaborations, analyzing why some pilots successfully scale while others fail to move beyond the proof-of-concept stage. Through real-world examples, it will unpack the key factors that influence success, from internal alignment and resource commitment to clear KPIs and integration capabilities. The discussion will provide practical insights on how large organizations can de-risk experimentation and turn pilots into scalable, business-impacting solutions.
