NeXTT Corporate Innovation and Venturing Awards 2025 | 2nd Edition
NeXTT is a one-of-its-kind platform dedicated to corporate innovation and corporate venturing. Around this we have built out a multi-format IP, replete with keynote, fireside chats, panel discussions, startup showcases and a gala awards night.
Over the years, at Startup Réseau we have seen first-hand the important role that corporates and corporate leaders play in furthering innovation and startups in their journey.
Built on an overarching mission of "Converge. Connect. Collaborate”, in 2021 we started off with a 2-day virtual summit and leadership awards, which led to a series of thematic events in 2024 focused on Sustainability, Logistics & Supply Chain, and Cloud AI & SaaS - bringing about participation from 30+ speakers, 200+ attendees and 15+ startup showcases.
We are now gearing up for the 2nd edition of NeXTT Awards Night on 11th September 2025. NeXTT Awards is our way to say a “Thank You” and recognise corporate innovation leaders and corporate innovation programs for their contribution in furthering India’s corporate innovation ecosystem and startup landscape.
We have brought together a solid industry-led jury comprising Deepak Sharma - Suryoday Small Finance Bank & Experian India | Ninad Karpe - 100X.VC & Karpe Diem Ventures | Ravi Narayan - Startup Genome | Geetanjali Bhattacharji - Glassbox Ventures | Delna Avari - Delna Avari & Consultants to make this a stellar awards night.
The 2025 edition of the Awards Night will feature:
• Recognition of outstanding Corporate Innovation and CVC Programs in India 2025
• Awards for leading Corporate Innovation Leaders in India 2025
• Launch of the India Corporate Innovation Landscape Report 2025
