The growing intensity of corporate venturing activities presents extraordinary opportunities for corporations to redefine their innovation and investment practices. While corporate venturing has received considerable research attention, previous studies have often insufficiently captured the evolution of corporate venturing activities. This article presents the key insights of a global study of leading corporate venture units and offers a benchmark against which to compare current and future corporate venturing initiatives. We discuss the state of corporate venturing activities and practices at leading global corporations and outline the distinctive features of today's venture landscape.enOpen InnovationCorporate VenturingVenture CapitalStrategic InvestmentsResearch-Technology Management2294442294432224197110
