Companies that embrace innovation will notice substantial increases in their overall stability and profits, both in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.
More than anything, the key to a company's success is the right talent. Having highly intelligent and sought-after employees is important but they also need to be placed in positions where they can fully showcase their talents and skills.

Take a look at these cases of corporate innovation across Asia during the COVID-19 pandemic and what your company can take away from those efforts.
Increasingly, Asia has become an incredible powerhouse for investing and innovation alike, and CVCs are on the rise.
What makes potential employees attractive to employers is the talent and skills they bring to the company. But it's not always easy to understand what talent or skill you might need for a position, especially if it's a new role.
In 2020, digital transformation has become at once essential and challenging to corporations and enterprises across the spectrum.
No matter how large or successful your company is, it's always at risk of being disrupted by an up-and-coming startup. We've seen time and again how startups can quickly disrupt an industry and takeover business from major corporations. Think of companies like Uber, Amazon, and Netflix. These started as startups and have quickly disrupted their respective industries, putting larger corporations out of business and impacting global GDP.
If you listen to the news or read industry journals, you've seen it many times. Companies need a digital transformation to ignite innovation in their businesses. If companies don't, they will lose their edge to disruptors in their industry. Most often, the disruptor is a startup. In these scenarios, the disruptor triumphs over the existing companies and goes on to make millions or billions such as Microsoft, Amazon, or Netflix. The old-school corporations are left in the dust. It almost sounds like a movie where the underdog wins against staggering odds. But, does innovation have to be the result of an "us versus them" mentality? Is there a scenario where both sides can benefit?
A common narrative these days, amongst tech-startups, is one in which an underdog ‘Disrupter’ would turn the tide in their favours and overcome impossible odds against corporate hegemony in any industry, much like how David defeated Goliath, using nothing but ingenuity and innovation. Since the first day of RISE Corporate Innovation Powerhouse, however, we thought differently. It has rather been a core belief of our founder, Dr.Kid Parchariyanon, that it is collaboration, not disruption, that can truly pave the way forward, providing win-win solutions to corporates and startups, big and smalls, for exponential and sustainable economic growth in Asia.
In Asia, corporations have strong control over the market across many industries. One example is the banking industry. Financial services are heavily regulated and any systematic change will inevitably involve major banks. Startups that aim to introduce new technology and change how financial services are done will eventually run into the major banks. It is in every party’s interests to have major banks collaborate with startups. Similar stories can be found in various other industries. Corporations have the ability to enable certain systematic changes that facilitate the adoption of new technological solutions.
Corporations should not invest in innovation if their executives are not totally engaged. ”Managers” or “leaders” are like the bow of a ship. They make decisions and are ready to determine the directions of an organization. That said, they are involved in the matter of life or death for a certain company or organization.
Innovation is vital in today's world, be it in corporations, universities, through government agencies or tech startups. Innovation seeks to study gaps that lead to breakthroughs, which in turn improve businesses and our lives. The following highlights 3 notable cases in Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia is the one region you cannot overlook for new business opportunities. This is the place whose Internet economy has already hit $100 billion and will continue its ascend at an unprecedented rate. With so many diverse activities taking place, fueled by consumers’ newfound interests, especially in e-Commerce and Ride-Hailing sector of the industry, it is expected that the Internet economy of the region is to reach $300 billion in the near future. There are still tons of space for newcomers to grow and shine in this market with new businesses, innovation, and technology. At the upcoming Corporate Innovation Summit in Thailand, we’ll be showcasing you of what’s possible for the region, and the potential for corporations and individuals to innovate and expand into this dynamic market.
There are several compelling reasons why should you care about the upcoming Corporate Innovation Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, and not least because Southeast Asia now offers unprecedented and unparalleled business opportunities with a global outlook, which means that whether you are in anywhere else in the world, this is the place to be.
