Applico CEO Alex Moazed details the jump seen in corporate venture capital activity in 2021 and looks forward at increased CVC activity forecast to take place in 2022. He explains why we're seeing more venture capital investment from corporate entities and why an increased number of legacy industry players are looking at investing into disruptive tech startups.
