About this Programme
Access to finance is a major barrier to UK SME growth, particularly in high technology sectors like telecoms and for upstream technology capabilities such as photonics and cyber security. Understanding how to plan and execute a successful investment strategy is a critical success factor for growth.
The two-day interactive course will help you build a strategy for raising seed and venture capital investment from investors managing a telecoms sector-aligned portfolio
You will be supported by a team of highly experienced mentors with backgrounds in digital innovation and telecommunications, considering the unique challenges and opportunities within the sector.
