The Hub Summer Social will unite the Enterprise Hub’s network of entrepreneurs – Hub Members past and present, Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) entrepreneurs and Chairs in Emerging Technologies. From early-stage founders to scale-up leaders, UK based or international, this event is designed to spark cross-stage, cross-sector connections, support shared learning, and increase the chance of those unexpected moments that may lead to real impact.
Attendees will hear insights from leading entrepreneurs who have trodden similar paths, gain inspiration from the journey of entrepreneurs in our network, and have the space to relax, reflect and reconnect with peers who understand the challenges and rewards of building bold, IP-rich engineering ventures.
What to expect on the day:
- Celebrate your entrepreneurial journey – from idea to impact, attendees can share their own stories and hear from those who have scaled and sustained engineering-led ventures.
- Chances for serendipity – opportunity to build meaningful new connections across the Enterprise Hub’s broad and diverse community.
- Energised for the next stage – attendees will hopefully leave re-energised with new contacts, ideas and inspiration as to prepare for what’s next in their respective journeys.
