In Episode 5 of Inside CVC, we continue our deep dive into the 2025 CVC Open Innovation Summit, this time focusing on highlights and takeaways from Day 2. Co-hosts Steve Schmith and Philipp Willigmann explore how Miami took center stage as an emerging hub for globally connected innovation—spanning Latin America, Europe, and beyond.

We spotlight the city’s growing influence in sectors like climate tech, logistics, and healthcare, and unpack the critical role public-private partnerships play in fueling scale-stage innovation. You’ll hear reflections on key sessions, including:

• The Miami economic development panel featuring voices from Greenberg Traurig, the Beacon Council, and Vatsco Ventures
• A powerful keynote from innovation strategist Kaihan Krippendorff on intrapreneurship and moving early on transformation
• Insights on mobility, talent-driven innovation, and the cultural foundation needed to build a future-ready organization

Plus, hear behind-the-scenes takeaways from conversations with thought leaders that challenge the status quo of corporate venture capital.

Whether you’re a corporate innovator, ecosystem builder, or curious policymaker, this episode offers rich perspective on what it takes to drive meaningful innovation—internally and across borders.
