India has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s most dynamic innovation ecosystems, where corporates actively collaborate with startups to co-create solutions and drive growth. For Singapore startups, these partnerships present opportunities to solve pressing corporate challenges in India while positioning themselves to scale into regional and global markets. 

This session brings together India-based multinational corporates and innovation partners to share their collaboration priorities and focus areas, and to discuss how Singapore startups can work with them to co-develop solutions. Panellists will showcase real-world case studies, explore partnership models, and highlight how the Global Innovation Alliance enables startups to testbed, pilot, and expand, not only in India’s fast-growing market, but also across wider regions through the global networks of these corporates.

The session will conclude with networking to continue the conversation afterwards.
