From Walki’s perspective, the concept of venturing is seen as a means to accelerate R&D activities and an avenue to engage in new business models, value chains, and exciting ventures. The goal was not to transform into a traditional venture capitalist investor but to seek robust business connections and touchpoints that align with Walki’s objectives. And that’s what we achieved!”
