Climb24 is set to return to Leeds on 5th-6th June.
Building on the success of Climb23, which brought together more than 1,500 delegates, 220 speakers and 150 active investors from across the world, the two-day event will showcase innovation and provide investment-ready businesses with opportunities to make meaningful connections beyond their existing networks.
The festival will feature keynotes, interactive workshops and panel discussions covering some of the latest trends and challenges for companies at all stages of their growth.
Featuring globally renowned speakers across the two days, and dedicated stages covering SaaS, CleanTech, AI and HealthTech, Climb24 will cover everything from securing talent, diversity and inclusion, sustainability and impact investment, to founder burnout and mental health awareness.
Gordon Bateman, founder of Investor Ladder and Climb24, explains: “Many investors struggle to find opportunities outside their usual networks. Likewise, business leaders seeking funding may not know how to identify the right people that can help them to access finance.
‘Investors & entrepreneurs told me to leave Leeds for London’
“Climb24 is here to change that. Our goal is to connect the dots in a meaningful way, showcasing the amazing innovation happening in cities outside of London and speeding up investment into local and regional ecosystems.
“Following the success of last year’s event, we are excited to continue fostering connections and providing a platform for such exciting businesses, entrepreneurs and investors to connect.
“Whether it’s investors connecting across cities or entrepreneurs learning from those further along in their journey, the aim is to provide practical takeaways that can be implemented immediately.”
