What’s more, by taking part in this workshop you will become a member of SETsquared’s high-profile Scale-Up Programme. This will give you access to exclusive events, expertise in growing businesses and dedicated support to help you raise public and private investment.

The Innovation Workout is open to registered businesses in digital, health, sustainable or advanced engineering sectors with several years of growth behind them. The workshop will be delivered online so you and your colleagues can collaborate virtually with no requirement to travel.

Gary Todd, CEO and Founder at Famiio took part in the Workout earlier this year and is already making changes to his business approach:

“The way the team from SETsquared positively and productively challenged us was a big differentiator. They made a genuine effort to understand our world. Going forward that’s meant that we feel better equipped to ‘sell’ our business model to potential funders, investors and customers.”

Another participant, Mark Williams, CEO at Revoola, noted the ability to access further support from SETsquared even after the Workout had finished:

“SETsquared offers a significant financial springboard, with access to investment, industry linked pitching events like the Investment Showcase; and events like the Scale-up Innovation Workshop allow us to check and improve our business model. We have refined our idea a few times, workshops like this have facilitated this process.”

Karen Brooks, Programme Director at SETsquared commented:

“The Innovation Workouts are an invaluable opportunity for growing businesses to take a step back and be challenged on all aspects of their business. Through our Business Model Canvas exercise we can help businesses define and shape their strategy ready for investment. I would encourage any growing business to apply.”
