The Corporate–Startup Collaboration Needs Analysis Map is out!
Prepared within the Future Match project, this report draws on field data to show where corporate–startup collaboration gets stuck, and why.
Key findings:
🔹 Most problems arise before and after matchmaking, not in matchmaking itself
🔹 48% of startups say a clearly defined problem is the most critical factor for a successful PoC
🔹 50% of startups see slow corporate decision-making as the biggest barrier
🔹 PoC budget flexibility is the weakest dimension of corporate readiness (2.44 out of 5)
The report maps 20 needs across 4 actor groups, presents the 7-stage Future Match model, and sets out recommendations for development agencies, corporates and startups.
