Connect through the Concierged Meeting Service
Startups made more valuable and targeted contacts by taking advantage of our Concierged Meeting Service.
Our dedicated VIP team provided a meeting service between investors, enterprises and startups. All participating investors received a catalogue of our startups, enabling them to choose the most relevant and interesting opportunities for them. More discreet meetings were made possible as a result of this facilitated service, providing high quality interactions at the show.
Inspiration at the Startup Elevate
One of the key initiatives behind Startup Elevate was to deliver high quality, engaging content for startups focussing on entrepreneurship skills.
The programme ran workshops hosted by experienced investors, startup accelerators and successful entrepreneurs. This part of the programme sought to deliver actionable advice on how to maximise a startup’s potential.
Strike a Deal at the Investor Lounge
The Investor Lounge was a VIP area reserved for our investor community and enterprise VIP’s to conduct more discreet meetings with startups and entrepreneurs. This space was where industry and entrepreneurs connected and built relationships.
