With all the work and energy that has been going into South Yorkshire recently, this is the perfect opportunity to bring it all together for one big event, with a room of investors, funds, sector specialists and entrepreneurs.

The South Yorkshire ecosystem is rapidly growing, with the help of various associations, programmes and influential people making things happen. To date, this has only been shown in small snippet events around the region. We want to bring it altogether under one roof and showcase how exciting and how much potential there is in South Yorkshire, both for startups, investors and sector specialists, who are looking for innovation to drive their sector forward.

For anyone who is involved in the startup ecosystem, this is a must attend event, so don't miss out!
