Innovation by start-ups is booming, and corporations increasingly innovate by acquiring them. This represents both an opportunity for early-stage investors and a strategic trend that strongly affects the corporate world. 

First introduced in 2015, IMD Alumni Community for Entrepreneurship (IMD ACE) has conducted several online (virtual) events in 2016, followed by face-to-face events in Lausanne in 2016 and expanding locations to Zurich, Basel, Singapore, and London in 2017, as well as in Sydney and Milan in 2018.  We are now extending this offer to the alumni in Sao Paolo area.

The topic is on how to invest in start-ups and will also enable you to connect with start-ups and/or investors.  We are collaborating with Anjos do Brasil, a startup investing platform with a strong presence in Brasil and a strong performance track record in startup investments.
