Workshop: The Scaling Journey
At Innovate UK we know the innovation journey for businesses is complex. Whilst our grant funding programmes can help businesses de-risk their technologies, we also know that the innovation ecosystem is a critical success factor in supporting innovators from start up to scale up especially in the clean growth space. This session highlights some of the learnings and things to look out for on your scaling journey from seeking private investment, thinking about your scale up needs, to telling better innovation stories as well as a snapshot of some of the support that is available.
