Innovation at Scale: An evening with NOBA Ventures

We are welcoming the founders of NOBA Ventures to our Barcelona campus for an evening talk. NOBA is a Barcelona-based venture builder that helps large companies design, test and launch new businesses. In more than ten years it has delivered over 300 projects for companies including Nestlé, PepsiCo, Danone, HP and Boehringer Ingelheim.

The talk looks at how NOBA anticipates what will matter in five to ten years, and how it finds niche customer needs today that could become the big opportunities of the future.

What to expect

• How NOBA works like a founder inside a corporate structure: prototyping ideas quickly, validating them with real customers and scaling only what the evidence supports
• An introduction to NOBA Academy, which trains corporate teams to build ventures themselves
• Optional networking after the talk
