1:45PM Delivering on R&D Strategy
2:15PM Co-Development: Turbocharge Enterprise R&D, Accelerate Innovation & Outpace Competition Traditional R&D processes are no longer sufficient in today’s rapidly evolving innovation landscape - in fact, they’re holding enterprises back. Co-development is the answer, a strategic approach for building with external partners in a way that drives transformative results. VentureFu- el has created a proven co-development blueprint to accelerate R&D - faster and better than ever before. This session will reveal how enterprises are leapfrogging stage gates and conventional timelines by leveraging AI and emerging technologies, collaborating with startups to accelerate results, reduce risk, and unlock new revenue streams. If you’re ready to leave outdated R&D strategies behind, join Venture- Fuel’s Founder & CEO, Fred Schonenberg, and Director of Innovation & Partnerships, Pritam Bhattarai, to learn how co-development can posi- tion your enterprise as an unstoppable innovation leader. Packed with real-world case studies, practical frameworks, and a fresh perspective on innovation, this session is a must-attend for front-end innovators eager to supercharge R&D. This session, led by an R&D executive luminary, offers a masterclass in crafting and executing a winning R&D strategy. Going beyond theoreti- cal frameworks, the session provides practical guidance on: • Strategic Alignment: Ensuring R&D initiatives directly support and advance overarching business objectives. • Organizational Buy-in: Building consensus and securing resources by effectively communicating the value and impact of R&D. • Cross-functional Collaboration: Fostering a collaborative environ- ment where R&D seamlessly integrates with other departments (e.g., marketing, product development) to achieve shared goals. • Outcome-Oriented Approach: Defining clear, measurable outcomes for R&D initiatives and tracking progress towards achieving them. • Future-Proofing Innovation: Anticipating future trends and incorpo- rating them into the R&D roadmap to maintain a competitive edge. Attendees will gain valuable insights and actionable strategies for de- veloping and implementing a robust R&D strategy that drives business growth and fosters a culture of innovation.
