“I’ve attended the UKBAA Early- Stage Investment Summit for the past two years now. For someone that was initially new to the role and early stage investing, the insights from seasoned entrepreneurs and investors really opened my eyes to early-stage investments in the North. The networking opportunities were invaluable, allowing me to connect with like-minded individuals and foster relationships with investors and founders.”

Cat Smith, British Business Bank

The Early-Stage Investment Summits are great way to get an up-to-the-minute look at the top of the investment funnel. They are worth attending to get an understanding of trends in sectors, valuations, policy changes and more. The regional perspective from the (Northern) summit is particularly valuable with insights from people in the industry and on the ground.

From MPs to practitioners, imparting sector news and calls for increased investor activity, offering practical advice at all levels of investor capability.”
