Launching in 2026, our Scale-up Series will bring together business leaders, innovators and researchers to share insights, explore collaboration and tackle the real challenges faced by scaling companies.
Designed for ambitious, growing businesses, the events will offer a powerful blend of peer-to-peer networking, academic insight and hands-on support. Business leaders will have the opportunity to explore sector-specific challenges, share real-world learning and identify practical routes to innovation and growth.
To get the most out of the series, we recommend that members are business leaders from organisations that have:
- an established product or service;
- been incorporated for at least three years;
- achieved growth in either employee numbers or turnover in the past two years.
