The Innovation Crisis in Numbers
84%
Failed Innovation Initiatives
About 84% of global executives reported that their innovation initiatives failed to achieve the desired financial performance or strategic goals. This shows a widespread failure in converting innovation investments into tangible value.
80%
Startup Engagement Failures
Only 20% of corporations engaging with startups find that these partnerships lead to significant innovation or competitive advantage. The rest fail to scale or integrate the startups’ innovations into their core operations.
75%
Misalignment Between Innovation and Strategy
Only 25% of companies have a clear alignment between their innovation strategy and business strategy, leading to wasted resources on projects that do not support long-term goals.
60%
In-House Accelerator Struggles
Nearly 60% of corporate accelerators and incubators fail to produce startups that contribute significantly to the parent company's growth. These programs often lack the agility and focus needed to compete with independent startup ecosystems.
60%
Missing Key Grow Opportunities
60% of organizations miss key growth opportunities due to ineffective innovation strategies contributing to billions in collective wasted investment annually.
70%
Low Impact of Innovation Activity
Approximately 70% of corporate venture-building initiatives fail to reach scale or achieve their desired impact. This high failure rate is often due to challenges such as misalignment with the core business, insufficient commitment of resources, and the inability to effectively integrate the new ventures into the existing corporate structure.

Unlocking Breakthrough Innovation
Industry innovation or industry stagnation?
Corporate leaders increasingly recognize that substantial growth often originates outside traditional structures, driven by disruptors and startups; executives anticipate new products and services will account for nearly 30% of revenues by 2027.
Industry evolution or industry irrelevance?
Companies that are slow to innovate are increasingly vulnerable to disruption: research shows that over half of the companies on the Fortune 500 list in 2000 have since fallen off due to their inability to adapt to technological and market changes.
