Innovation Portfolios in 2026: New insights on what to bet on, scale, and stop
How Cofidis manages its innovation portfolio across a complex, global, and multi-entity group
Member showcase
From neuroscience researcher to corporate innovation leader, Coline brings a rare analytical edge to the room. She scouts emerging trends across Europe, leads executive learning expeditions, and drives AI adoption from strategy through to implementation.
What is this session about?
Running an innovation portfolio in practice is one of the trickiest jobs in corporate innovation:
- Which bets deserve more funding?
- Which ones are quietly consuming resources without real traction?
- And how do you make those calls inside a large, multi-entity organisation where politics,
legacy structures, and competing priorities all have a seat at the table?
Coline will dive into how she approaches portfolio selection, active management, and the hard conversations that come with
it.
Why you should join
