Abstract

Corporate venture capital is a window for incumbents to acquire new technologies, and it is also a key force to promote the growth of new ventures, the birth of unicorns and industrial innovation. Combined with the research status and development trend of CVC at home and abroad, the symbiotic unit, symbiotic relationship and symbiotic environment of symbiosis theory are embedded into the practice of corporate venture capital, aiming to build a multi-actors interaction mode driven by corporate venture capital. On this basis, the CVC driven multi-actors value co-creation integration system is built from the perspective of value creation, and the path selection of multi-actors value co-creation is proposed from the macro-level to create the "sensor + adapter" between the enterprise and the environment, the meso level to build the "channel" for the exchange of resources between enterprises, and the micro-level to improve the cognitive ability and creativity of individuals/teams. All these are to improve the ecological construction of equity investment market and promote the harmonious development of large and medium-sized enterprises.
