ICDM Advocacy Dialogue & Networking: Corporate Venture Capital: Driving the Future of Innovation & Financial Returns

This event is EXCLUSIVELY for Board Members & CEOs ONLY

Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) can drive innovation within corporations in numerous ways. It allows access to new technologies, fosters a culture of innovation, and accelerates digital transformation. Determining the right time for corporates to pursue venture building and integrating that innovation into the core business – is a million-dollar question.

Recognising the importance of the board’s role in encouraging the CVC ecosystem, ICDM and Capital Markets Malaysia (CMM) are jointly organising a half-day programme to provide board directors with insights into the startup landscape, evaluate the viability and returns of venture capital investments, and equip them with the knowledge and tools to effectively play their boards’ oversight role over CVC funds.

This session aims to:

• Highlight the strategic, financial, and innovation benefits of CVC. What is corporate venture building, and how does it fit into your corporate innovation strategy?
• Educate stakeholders on the fundamentals of CVC funds, including compensation and distribution models. When is the right time for corporates to look at venture building?
• Risk-Reward Ratio – is venture capital a viable investment model, and what kind of returns can you expect?
• Guide corporate directors on structuring successful CVC funds, the dos & don’ts, and questions to ask.

Register now and send us your burning questions or issues you would like to bring up during the dialogue session to advocacy@icdm.com.my. This dialogue session will be held under the Chatham House Rule.
