Event: Innovation: Helping entrepreneurs and big business to work together

The Humber LEP is hosting an event to bring entrepreneurs and big business together to explore ways of working together. The event will take place at 2.00 – 4.00pm on Tuesday 19 January at the University of Hull Enterprise Centre, Cottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX and is aimed at representatives of entrepreneurial and innovative start ups and corporates who would like to learn more about working with entrepreneurs. The speakers will include Rob Lewis, Head of Health Transformation, R&D Innovation at RB, Lee Rickles, Head of Programmes and Informatics at the Humber NHS Foundation Trust and John Connolly, MD of the Centre for Digital Innovation. Entrepreneurs and small businesses are often leaders of innovation, developing new, agile and disruptive ways of working that are ahead of the trend. Larger corporates and public sector organisations are keen to work with start ups and entrepreneurs, but differing expectations and ways of working often create barriers to collaboration.The workshop offers the opportunity to hear about ways of working with large organisations and investors and offers insights into what large organisations and investors want from their relationships with entrepreneurs.
