The safety and wellbeing of our attendees and staff is our priority and, with this in mind, we’re sorry to announce that the Women in Innovation: Building Success - North East event is postponed. We know that you value these face-to-face networking opportunities, however, we must follow the latest advice issued by the UK government.

This event has been postponed to 2021. We shall be in touch will all registrants when a new date has been set.

As part of Innovate UK’s Women in Innovation programme, KTN will be hosting the seventh Building Success event in Newcastle. 

Take the opportunity to network with like-minded women, learn from experts and hear from successful female business owners at this exciting North East event. There will be a variety of practical workshops delivered by experts to accelerate your knowledge, and an Innovation Canvas* session that will help identify your particular innovation challenges and prioritise what actions you should take next. You will also have the chance to learn about, and interact with, national and regional support organisations that can help take your business to the next level. This event will also include a discussion lead by Jenny Tooth, CEO, UK Business Angels Association on "Investment Matters". 

Female founders and women working within innovation from all industries are encouraged to attend.

More information and the agenda will be released in the upcoming weeks. Due to the popularity of our Business Success events, we advise you to register at your earliest convenience. 

*Innovation CanvasThere are many problems that need to be solved on the way to a successful commercial innovation. We need a framework that poses the questions that a company must address to manage a process that is often tortuous and unpredictable. Borrowing from the model of the Business Model Canvas, KTN has developed an ‘Innovation Canvas’, which is divided into conversation blocks focused on the major issues that must be addressed in the innovation process. Join this workshop to apply your innovation and see which areas you need to focus on.
