Analytical reports

The GenerationS Corporate Accelerator presents the first practical guide for corporate innovation development. The guidebook consists of the following parts:

• learning the existing types of corporate innovation and defining what “innovation” means for your company;
• developing innovation: the starting point;
• what is the innovation strategy in business and what factors need to be taken into account when developing it;
• types of organizational models of innovation management and how to define a model that would suit a certain company.

Of course there is no universal “recipe” for corporate innovation, and success depends on many factors, both external and internal. However, we collected the most successful practices, methods and frameworks for handling innovation that have proven to be effective. Studying them will be a great contribution to the initial stage of innovation implementation and help develop a vision and a strategy for managing innovation at a corporation.

In 2019, GenerationS also received well-deserved recognition - it entered the top 5 best state accelerators in the world according to research by the analytical company UBI Global. During the year, joint projects were launched with companies from completely different areas: energy, transport industry, pharmaceutical industry and FMCG.

More than 800 applications from startups were received as part of the acceleration selection. More than 50 startups passed all stages of the accelerator and were selected by partners to further study the possibility of joint launch of pilot projects. For 7 years of GenerationS existence, more than 70 Accelerator Alumni have been able to scale their business not only in Russia, but also abroad.
