EVENTS

Access to finance is a major barrier to UK SME growth, so understanding how to plan and execute a successful investment strategy is a critical success factor for development.

This two-day interactive Investment Workout will help you build an effective investment strategy for your hydrogen or sustainable transport-focused start-up or SME. You will be supported by a team of highly experienced mentors with backgrounds in the sector, who will arm you with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complex world of venture funding here in the UK.

By the end of the course, you will clearly understand the investment landscape, be able to position your company to attract the right type of investor, and successfully plan a multi-stage investment campaign.

This Investment Workout dovetails with the complimentary Innovation Workout, supporting you in developing a blended investment and R&D grant income strategy, and tailoring your value proposition and product development focus to the hydrogen production and sustainable transport markets.

• Hydrogen production
