Spinning off from a parent company – transitioning from an internal innovation to an independent company – is a unique process which has produced some of the most exciting tech companies operating today. Think Nearfield Instruments, Signify, Carbyon, NXP Semiconductors … But how exactly does this process work? Why do companies pursue spinning off, and what does it take for a spin-off to succeed?

We asked two experts to join this Lunch & Learn and give us the down-low from a corporate perspective. Hans Boumans, Director Technology Transfer at TNO and Benno Tieke, Director Portfolio Management at Philips, will offer their insights, expertise and experiences in an interactive fireside chat-style Lunch & Learn.

What we’ll discuss:

💡How successful spin-offs are developed

💡The challenges and benefits of breaking away from a parent company

💡What startups and curious tech employees can learn from the corporate spin-off journey

💡The questions and ideas you bring to the session!
