Venturing – teaming up with innovative players
Every day, our innovations are helping to secure a better future for all of us. Venturing is an integral part of our open innovation approach. By teaming up with innovative players around the globe, we strengthen our innovation potential.
Exploring markets and technologies
DSM actively invests in start-up companies that create innovative products and services in health, nutrition and materials, because we believe that together we can create a better world.
By exploring emerging markets and technologies with these partners, we can enhance our innovation and growth potential, and also establish mutual benefits and learning opportunities. Besides offering financial support, DSM Venturing provides start-up companies with access to knowledge, resources and networks.
Our involvement
Although we are always actively involved in a start-up’s activities, we do so ‘at arm’s length’. We make sure start-up companies maintain their own identity, entrepreneurship, key people, agility, enthusiasm and business responsibility.
