At XNode, we care about real business impact, and our experience with startups as well as corporates have given us a strong portfolio in this line of work. Our scouting process marks the first step to becoming part of our innovation and entrepreneurial community, where various opportunities to engage with our networks ahead:
1. CORPORATE INNOVATION PROGRAM
Multinational Corporates are increasingly aware of the disruptive landscape in China, and they are opening their doors to startups with innovative solutions. By tapping on these corporates’ cutting-edge technologies and marketing & sales resources, selected startups can co-create innovative solutions to address today’s business challenges.
2. CHINA LEARNING EXPEDITION
Top executives from various industries get a chance to physically immerse in China’s unique startup ecosystem, learn more about “The entrepreneur mindset” and also discover the latest innovative technologies in China.
On the other hand, startups can network with our corporate partners and understand the current problems faced in their disrupted industries. They can also exchange ideas and potential ways of collaboration.
3. STARTUP COMMUNITY
Community events help us to continuously engage with the partners in our ecosystem. These events serve as a way for our corporate partners to interact more closely with our startups, and for startups, entrepreneurs, investors and other executives to keep in touch with the latest updates in the innovative space.
4. STARTUP CONNECTION
Through our periodic startup events such as our “In Your Shoes” series, our themed workshops, startups can gain exposure to the common problems faced in the ecosystem and how to address them. In Learning Expedition, besides from connecting with corporates, you also able to get connection with selected top-notch startups.
