Frequently Asked Questions about Corporate Innovation Programs
Tenity delivers corporate innovation programs that help enterprises collaborate with startups, launch innovation programs, and activate global innovation ecosystems.
What does Tenity do for corporates?
Tenity designs and delivers corporate innovation programs that help organisations work with startups in a structured, outcome-driven way. We run innovation programs, scout and validate emerging technologies, support pilots and proofs of concept, and connect corporates with startups relevant to their strategic priorities.
What types of corporates work with Tenity?
We work with financial institutions, insurers, corporates, technology companies, and public organisations that want to accelerate innovation beyond internal teams. Our corporate innovation program partners typically have clear strategic challenges, are exploring new technologies, or want a more effective way to collaborate with startups.
How is Tenity different from a classic innovation consultancy?
Tenity combines hands-on corporate innovation program delivery with venture capital expertise. Unlike traditional consultancies, we work daily with early-stage startups, founders, and investors — allowing us to move faster, validate ideas in real market conditions, and connect corporates to companies that can actually deliver.
What kind of innovation programs does Tenity run?
Depending on your objectives, our corporate innovation program offering includes custom accelerators, startup scouting and market scans, hackathons and challenge-based formats, pilot projects and proofs of concept, and ecosystem partnerships and market access initiatives. All programs are tailored to your strategy and regulatory environment.
How does Tenity select and work with startups?
Tenity curates startups from its global ecosystem based on strategic fit, maturity, and execution capability. As part of every corporate innovation program, we handle sourcing, screening, and onboarding — structuring the collaboration so expectations, timelines, and KPIs are clear for both sides.
Can working with Tenity lead to pilots or commercial partnerships?
Yes. Many corporate innovation program engagements lead to PoCs, pilots, or longer-term commercial relationships. Tenity supports both corporate teams and startups throughout execution, increasing the chances that collaboration moves beyond experimentation.
Does Tenity also support corporate venture or investment activities?
Yes. In addition to our corporate innovation program services, Tenity operates as a venture investor and can support corporate venture activities, co-investments, and strategic deal flow — allowing corporates to combine collaboration with selective investment.
In which industries does Tenity have the strongest experience?
Tenity has deep experience running corporate innovation programs in financial services, fintech, insurtech, regtech, digital assets, and adjacent technology sectors. Through our international hubs, we also support cross-border innovation across Europe, Asia, and beyond.
How long does a typical engagement with Tenity last?
Engagements vary depending on scope. Some corporate innovation program formats — such as startup scouting or hackathons — run for a few weeks. Larger programs and partnership mandates typically run several months to multiple years, with clearly defined phases and objectives.
