Andrew Gaule, of our GCV Academy, talks to Ignaas Caryn, director of innovation and venturing at Air France-KLM

 

You have roles in Air France-KLM and in your collaboration fund, Mainport Innovation Fund (MIF). explain the split in your roles and time.

Within Air France-KLM’s strategy and innovation team, I mainly focus on corporate venturing and the biofuel programme.The time split is about 50:50, but can fluctuate heavily during the year. The venturing activity is mainly concentrated within MIF activities. I also spend a lot of time developing our second fund.
