Innovation is the key to unlocking the full potential of your business and building the business of tomorrow.

Whether you’re a cutting-edge start-up bringing the latest product to market or a business simply looking to stay competitive and meet the needs of your customers, using finance to stay ahead of the curve is vital.

Join this event for a day of inspiring sessions showcasing how businesses can embrace innovation and tap into the finance needed to succeed!

You’ll be able to choose between two parallel workshops focusing on sharing information and experiences on the tools available, including finance, to build the business of tomorrow – these will be tailored to businesses at early stage and growth stage.

There will also be a session featuring live pitches from local businesses, as well as plenty of networking time between businesses, investors, lenders and business support specialists.

A networking lunch and refreshments will be provided from 12:00 , with sessions beginning at 13:00. Public parking is available nearby and the nearest metro station is Central Station or Haymarket.
