Through the years

GCVI Summit

Big ideas,
real impact.

This global event has proven to be the biggest dedicated gathering of corporate venture capital and C-suite innovation leadership and is regularly quoted as ‘‘the CVC event’’.

Giving over 800 attendees three days of unrivalled networking opportunities, knowledge transfer sessions and as many 1-to-1 private meetings as your diary will allow - the Summit is not to be missed if you’re looking to develop your venture unit, build one, or do business with those who do. It’s the place where capital meets innovation and it’s the place to be if you’re a corporate investor.
