London Event: Unleashing the UK's Start-up Potential

Sisters National Inaugural Report Launch

Join us on 4 March for an morning of discussion, discovery and connection as we look at Britain’s growing start-up scene.

From cutting-edge technology hubs to world-class universities, the UK offers fertile ground for entrepreneurs looking to innovate and disrupt. However, alongside these opportunities, there are some real challenges, including navigating funding gaps and increased competition in an evolving global market.

Going for Growth: Unleashing the UK’s Start-up Potential examines what the barriers are for better start-up and spin-out growth, and how we can overcome them.

Join us for a morning of thought-provoking conversations, meaningful connections, and actionable insights with business leaders and investors from across London. Together, we’ll explore opportunities for collaboration, as we reflect on key learnings from Sister’s report.
