🌟 Exciting News from REHAU New Ventures! 🚀 💡 inio has a new owner!💡

Well, whats the story behind?

⏱ Throwback: Driven by the idea and sparked by the belief that "Everyone has the right to good light at home," our vision materialized into a market-ready product. The inio one daylight lamp was born. We transformed a smart concept into reality at warp speed, proving that Human Centric Light is a captivating field to innovate in.

🚨 In 2023, we decided to sell inio and stop our New Ventures activities. Why? Well, we still believe that Human Centric Light is still worth to innovate in and there is a huge potential. However we realized it's time for inio to thrive in new horizons beyond our scope, being sure that another harbour is necessary to scale outside of New Ventures.

🌐 We found a perfect match in Landwehr Schultz Trafo GmbH, a powerhouse in electronics, who fell in love with inio and is now set to share it with the world. So we were able to sell the inio brand and all associated assets belonging to.

🌍  In the last four weeks that we have been running the inio New Ventures business, 150+ units found homes, signaling a positive market response. Good moment to pass to Landwehr Schultz Trafo GmbH, confirming our strategic market assessment. Kudos to the team for their dedication and support!

🎥 Tune in to hear Daniel Peplau, Managing Director Landwehr Schultz Trafo GmbH, sharing insights on their inio vision.

💡 Takeaway #No 2 💡 as a follow up on the WhatAVenture - Corporate Venture Builder study "The state of Corporate Venture Building".

How do companies set up venture building in their organizations?

👉54% of study participants have chosen to establish a dedicated venture building unit or team, while 43% have executed one or more stand-alone venture building projects.

So, more than 50% of the study participants established dedicated teams for doing innovation and building new business models. Also the REHAU Group decided to set up REHAU New Ventures as an independent subgroup.

Why? Well, most importantly it is about full focus, flexibility, speed and operational autonomy: "Aiming to surpass the lengthy approval processes and gain the speed required for the validation and scaling of ventures".

It is not about thinking negatively about well established corporate processes and enterprise systems, it is just about getting the freedom to do it different according to the needs of a venture unit. 💪

💡 Takeaway #No 1 💡

👉 You need top-level entrepreneurial profiles to validate new business opportunities and bring them to scale!" Yes, it is possible to turn a semi- good idea into a something if you have the right people on board but it is nearly unpossible to scale an excellent idea if you are lacking the right mindset of the team.

The study says...."In most cases, core business employees will lack the entrepreneurial skills required for the job. Collaborating with corporate venture building service providers or hiring venture architects for your venture building unit can help you to cover these gaps".

Well, what we also learned during the last years & months. It is not only about a perfect theoretical approach. It is also about having skin in the game and having entrepreneurs in our ventures which do have a strong connection to the field we are innovating in.

That´s also why we got our Co-Founder Bradley Doering on board for our venture homerenu. Brad already founded his own company in the renovation sector and is therefore also very experienced in the area which we tackle at homerenu. Same with Maximilian Gassner, our Business Owner & Co-Founder of our venture euerzuhause. As we are building a plattform business here, it is essential to understand how such businesses must be set up.

🌟The state of corporate venture building 2024!🌟

There are many ways for companies to foster innovation. One method is through #venture #building and that´s actually what we do at REHAU New Ventures. Venture building has become a prominent innovation practice in the past years. Despite economic downturns (or particularly because of them), large and medium-sized corporates recognize their leverage in exploring opportunities beyond their core business.

hurdles of venture building. They gathered insights based on interviews and a survey with over 30 corporate venture building managers and venture architects across mid-sized to large corporates.

💡The outsome?💡 A spotlight on fundamental elements critical to corporate venture building goals guiding corporate venture initiatives, the mechanics of an efficient setup and governance, the strategic allocation of resources, a pragmatic analysis of success cases, and a candid look at the challenges.
