9:00 AM - 9:45 AM

What happens when a 100+ year-old professional services firm starts operating like a venture studio? KPMG's newly launched Client Technology & Innovation group is setting out to incubate AI-native businesses, back startups, and co-build products with frontier AI labs. In this session, KPMG shares the thinking behind the model, how it plans to evaluate and fund new ideas, what large enterprises need from early-stage partners, and where corporate capital and co-development deals are heading. Founders will learn how to get in front of and partner with enterprise buyers. Investors will get a read on where incumbents plan to build, buy, or partner in AI, and what that means for their portfolios.
