Abstract
The Thesis aims to analyze the startup scouting and integration process, with a specific focus on Open Innovation strategies. In particular, it examines the process carried out by the Mixic Innovation Center of Milan, which is part of the Industry X division of the consulting firm Accenture S.p.A. The primary objective of the center is to identify and integrate emerging innovative technologies, in order to enhance its reputation and prestige with clients, while also providing startups with greater visibility in their market, giving them access to a greater customer base and enabling them to scale their solutions more rapidly. The Thesis initially provides an analysis of the existing literature on the different corporate strategies for startup integration, with a particular focus on Corporate Venture Capital, Intrapreneurship and Acceleration Programs.
Subsequently, it presents the four-phase process applied by the Mixic Center, starting with the initial search for emerging technologies to their final integration into the center's catalog, which includes other significant innovations
