The UK has seen rapid change in 2022 with large world events changing the way we all do business. With a new government now in place it is time to look at our priorities for the year ahead to ensure that investment at the seed level is maximised. But, how can we leverage private investment and ensure that the UK’s early-stage high growth businesses can grow and succeed in the face of a potentially deepening global and domestic economic downturn in the year ahead?
Join us at the Early-Stage Investment Summit to hear from thought leaders on how they plan to tackle the challenges ahead and add your voice in shaping the future of seed investment and UK economic growth, to not just succeed, but to thrive irrespective of global conditions. The day promises to help refresh the direction of how the UK’s early-stage investment community will approach investment over the coming 12 months and what key factors are likely to influence this.
