The Super Connect Series 2019/2020

This is a national tech initiative powered by Empact Ventures in partnership with Hays UK & I to facilitate collaboration and/or funding between tech startups & scale-ups with larger companies (e.g. corporates, brands, SMEs) and funding providers (e.g. investors, grant and loan providers) based on mutual interest.

In October 2019, we are expanding our curated Super Connect events to 11 cities across the UK through to June 2020 in partnership with Hays with support from 75+ partners including Barclays, Microsoft, City Fibre, WorldFirst, Future King Ventures, Ying De Group, UnLtd, Seedrs, Angels Den, Syndicate Room and over 70+ others.

Super Connect London (AI & MedTech)

On the 14th November 2019, we welcome you to join us for our Super Connect London for AI & MedTech event held in partnership with Hays, Microsoft for Startups and UnLtd sponsored by Future Kings & WorldFirst at Microsoft Reactor in London.

The event brings you together with people and organisations to support your business development, innovation sourcing and/or fundraising interests through our match-making process including:

Upon arrival at the event you'll be informed by email of your 5-9 super connections which you can find throughout the day with the help of our 'Wall of Faces' and 4 Super Connectors who can make warm introductions.
