South West of England Investment Summit

Tech South West's afternoon for investors, founders, business leaders and policymakers, covering the region's economy with sector deep dives on defence and dual-use, healthtech, cleantech and early-stage innovation. Lunch runs from 12:00. The programme has a Beauhurst South West investment update from Nour Hasan and Vivialyn Joynson, a partner panel, and live pitching across four investor zones, one of them for SEIS and early-stage companies. A 45-minute investor and founder 1:1 zone follows with tea and coffee, and the day closes at 16:00. The keynote speaker and panellists are still to be confirmed. Ticket prices are on the Tickettailor page. Why go: the pitching zones and the 1:1 slot put founders in front of South West investors on the same afternoon, which most regional networking events don't offer. Best for seed-stage founders raising and for investors scouting deal flow.
