🗣️ Mário Ribeiro Alves, from Taikai and LayerX, on the do’s and don’ts of open innovation: “On the startup side, AI is helping teams build better solutions, faster. But one thing still doesn’t work: building strong relationships takes time so AI can’t replace it.”

Paula Pinho, from KPMG, on open innovation: “It starts with being clear on what you want to solve. Then, it’s about understanding the challenges startups face, how far they want to go, and how both sides can move forward together.”

🗣️ Gustavo Magalhães, from Beta-i, on non-negotiables: “One clear non-negotiable is the platform itself: the process must be agile and streamlined, with no meetings until the final stage.”

Eunice Alves Costa, from Delta Cafés, on open innovation: “We’re entering a different phase. Companies are reducing investment in open innovation, this is a moment of change. Now, the focus is shifting back to the core business.”
