Connecting the people shaping corporate venture through curated gatherings, shared insight and conversations that continue long after the event ends.

Making strong connections is the foundation of the CVC landscape and its success, but with the ecosystem stretching across the globe, it can be hard to find the time to build them. Through GCV Connect, we bring together the key players within each region, using our international network to help them connect, learn and succeed together.

A selective programme of focused, in-person gatherings in key corporate venture markets, GCV Connect brings together carefully curated groups where there is a clear opportunity to strengthen regional relationships, share practical insights and support the development of the local CVC ecosystem.

Our Connect events are designed first and foremost for GCV members, giving them priority access to valuable peer connections and conversations. Attendance is exclusively for CVCs, corporate investors and our event partners.

Each gathering is shaped around the needs of its market and may include peer-led discussions, regional insights, curated networking and opportunities to build relationships with other corporate investment leaders. The result is a trusted environment where participants can have more meaningful conversations and develop connections that continue beyond the event itself.
