                          business is struggling to keep up with changes
                          in technology, customer preferences and
                          employee demands.  Start-ups are seen as
                          innovative with an ear to the ground that
                          quickly allows them to define and disrupt a
                          market.  But can these entities, at opposite
                          ends of the spectrum in terms of size,
                          structure and formality usefully interact? 
                          What can big business do to better understand
                          the value of start-ups?  Does the traditional
                          operating model of big business allow for
                          innovation from outside of their corporate
                          domain?  And what can start-ups do to be more
                          accessible by corporates?  Based on his work
                          with KPMG’s High Growth Technology Group Tim
                          Kay will outline what is currently happening
                          in the sector, the benefits and challenges.   Register for this event
