It's commonly assumed that startups are the primary source of innovation, while large companies struggle to innovate at the same level. In this episode, we've invited Dmitrii Vastianov, who worked in Santander Bank's innovation department in the UK for several years and gained firsthand experience with various strategies for promoting internal innovation.

We are going to explore how the innovation department of a corporate operates by getting to know Dmitrii´s experience building “My Home Manager”, a platform that brings together services to help Santander mortgage customers manage and get more from their homes.

He will also share his opinion on the differences between entrepreneurship (building a product externally) and intrapreneurship (building a product inside a company), in terms of speed, access to capital, autonomy, and the benefits and disadvantages for the entrepreneurs. We hope you enjoy this insightful discussion.
