Why partnering accelerates your innovation

 

 

 

Strengthen your innovation capabilities through an exclusive partnership with one of Europe's leading startup hubs.

Markets move fast. Companies that innovate win. Companies that don't fall behind. The challenge is building real innovation capacity, not just doing one-off projects. When you partner with ExciteLab, you get professional access to the startup ecosystem plus continuous support to turn ideas into real business results.

We don't just introduce you to startups once and hope for the best. We build a real partnership. Your teams in strategy, operations, and specialist departments get ongoing support, knowledge, and access to the right partners.

We combine continuous learning and insight with hands-on help through structured partnership projects. That means you get our biannual trend reports to stay on top of what's changing, exclusive innovation roundtables where you connect with peers and industry experts, access to our digital learning academy to build your teams' capabilities, and our startup database so you can explore emerging companies. All that feeds into our structured venture clienting process that helps you actually execute partnerships that work.

Your advantage as an ExciteLab partner

  • Actually build innovation capacity: Gain direct, ongoing access to innovative startups and technologies that are reshaping your industry, not just one-time introductions.
  • Stay ahead of the market: Work closely with startups solving tomorrow's problems today. You get insights and practical solutions before they're mainstream. That means you lead, not follow.
  • Early advantage: See what's coming before everyone else. Spot opportunities and make strategic moves while there's still time to get ahead.

What partnering looks like

  • Curated startup access: We bring you into our network strategically. You get an early sight of promising startups and direct collaboration opportunities. Together, we identify which partnerships make sense for your business.
  • Run real pilots: Talk is cheap. We support you in launching actual pilot projects with startups – moving ideas from concept to real testing in your business.
  • Stay in the loop:  Twice-yearly trend reports keep you updated on what's shifting in your industry. Our exclusive partner roundtables bring you together with peers and industry speakers to discuss what's actually changing out there.
  • Learning and development Access our online learning hub – videos, whitepapers, frameworks – so your teams get smarter about working with startups and navigating emerging tech.
  • Your own space: Host workshops for your teams at our facilities, or join our exclusive partner events. Real conversations, real networking.
  • Strategic focus: Over time, you can drill deep into specific areas that matter for your business – whether that's robotics, IoT, sensors, semiconductors, quantum tech, or beyond. We help you build capability in what matters most.
