Expo Of Inspiring Science, Technology and Innovations
Wednesday 08 February at York Racecourse. Venturefest Yorkshire showcases the region's finest science, technology and innovation entrepreneurs and brings them together with the professionals who support them.
Events during the day include:
• The Investment Competition organised by YABA and sponsored by The Shepherd Group. Up to eight start-up or early stage companies will pitch to win a prize worth in the region of £30,000 as well as receiving publicity and possible private equity investment
• Angel members and angel guests lunch sponsored by Ellis IP Ltd
• The Innovation Showcase where 36 of the best young companies in the region will exhibit and promote new ideas
• A large exhibition where delegates can network with suppliers
• Breakfast networking
• A dinner and awards ceremony
• Opportunities for young people to showcase their enterprising potential
• A variety of seminars and a high profile debate all designed to educate and inspire both the entrepreneurs of today and of the future
All entrants to the Investment Competition benefit from increased visibility to potential investors. Last year's winner, Owen Dukes of York-based Propalms, is positive about its benefits. "The competition certainly raised our profile among the business angel and venture capital community and we received a lot of publicity as a result," he says. "The business services prizes have proven very useful and are available for us to use when it suits our needs. It's a great way to meet potential investors."
