The Entrepreneurs' Forum is our next main event
- Aptamer Solutions win The Investment Competition
- The Test People win The Innovation Showcase
Yorkshire is bursting with science and technology entrepreneurs who are busy creating ideas that will change the world. Venturefest is a packed one day event that showcases and supports these entrepreneurs. It will return again in 2013. For now, please consider visiting one of our "Entrepreneurs' Forum Meetings".
The 2012 Venturefest Yorkshire event took place on February 8th 2012 at York Racecourse. It involved:
- Breakfast Networking event & other Innovative Networking sessions
- An Investment Competition in which 5 pre-selected participants from science, technology or innovative businesses pitched to not only seek investment but also win a support prize worth in the region of £29,000
- An Innovation Showcase where we invited more than 30 of the best science, technology or innovative businesses companies in the region to exhibit and promote their new ideas
- A keynote from best selling author and entrepreneur Nigel Botterill as well as Mike Southon, The Beer Mat Entrepreneur
- Other seminars and the "Entrepreneurs Survey Debate" all designed to educate and inspire both the entrepreneurs of today and in the future
- A dinner and awards ceremony
- Opportunities for young people to showcase their enterprising potential
- A large exhibition where delegates can network with suppliers and select new partners for future advice and make procurement decisions
If you are a science and technology entrepreneur then you will find inspiration, advice and investment at Venturefest. If you are an investor or a business that works with businesses in these sectors then you will find innovative ideas and motivated business people to invest in and meet.
Venturefest is not a general business exhibition. Our delegates and exhibitors deal in revolutionary ideas, the people who create them and the people who want to invest in them. Attendance for 2013 will be announced here in September.
