UKBAA is delighted to invite you to join us on Tuesday 31st January to meet thirty of the most exciting businesses from across the North of England who will be coming to London to meet with investors. Selected from the VentureFest events in North East, North West, Yorkshire and Humber, these businesses have been identified as the most ambitious and scalable across the northern region. Working with the Venturefest organisers and Knowledge Transfer Network, we are delighted to be supporting this showcase of exciting businesses, where investors can see short presentations from these companies and interact with the entrepreneurs, followed by networking and drinks.
The thirty companies represent a range of sectors from consumer, digital and healthcare through to engineering and manufacturing reflecting a range of technologies, products and services. All are ready for investment and looking for between £100k and £500k initially, in some cases as co-investment as part of larger rounds, with a few looking for follow-on rounds of up to £5m.
Numbers are limited and entry to the showcase is by invitation only, so register now to secure your place to meet these great northern entrepreneurs.
We look forward to seeing you there.
