Using A New Type of Corporate Venture Capital to Accelerate Packaging Innovation
May 5, 2026
Corporate venture capital is becoming an increasingly important driver of innovation in the packaging industry. A recent interview with Matt Saunders, Managing Partner of New Earth Ventures (NEV), from See Change Sessions examines how strategic investments and partnerships can help emerging companies move promising technologies from the lab to the marketplace by providing access to technical expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and commercial networks.
In the case of NEV, that access comes in the form of Atlantic Packaging and the expertise and resources they offer.
To better explain the impact that corporate venture capital can have as a driver of innovation, Matt Saunders delivered a “WTF” session at See Change Sessions 2025 all about WTF is Corporate Venture Capital.
The interview with Matt dives even deeper into the challenges that feel most urgent to solve right now, the biggest opportunities to do things differently, and how he stays open to ideas that challenge conventional investment logic.
Thank you to See Change Sessions for featuring Matt Saunders in this thoughtful interview.
