On way to scale up and increase your impact is to develop working relationships with mainstream global businesses. This session explores how agile and innovative entrepreneurs can benefit from such relationships, looking at opportunities and challenges from all sides, and exploring issues such as innovation, finance, scale and mutual benefit. Panellists will represent the health care industry, but the session’s focus on models for change; ways of scaling up new initiatives; and innovative ways to partner, will be relevant to all sectors.
