The Enterprise Support Summit is a Showcase designed to raise awareness of the support available to SME’s and entrepreneurs in Hull and East Riding and to maximize the benefit from the City of Culture in 2017.
Working in collaboration with the Hull and East Riding business support community and the Humber Growth Hub, the FSB has created a unique and exciting business support event.
Designed to showcase the excellent range of business support which is available in the area, promoting joint working and collaboration, the event will make local people and businesses aware of how to access support and the real and tangible difference the hands on support makes for people on their enterprise journeys.
The event starts at 11.00am with an opening reception and a keynote address and will continue throughout the day with a series of inspirational presentations and workshops designed to raise awareness of the support that local organisations can provide and which are focused on improving entrepreneurship in the region and also maximising the benefit from the City of Culture in 2017. The day will close with a wine reception and closing remarks at 7.00pm.
The workshops and presentations will be complemented by a marketplace event which showcases the broad range of focussed enterprise support which exists in the area, this includes organisations and projects including Enterprise Europe Network; Prince’s Trust; The Acorn Fund; Sirius Business Enterprise Agency; The Green Port programme and many more. There will also be a number of local entrepreneurs and businesses who have been supported in their enterprise journey by the organisations represented at the event, giving businesses an opportunity to talk face to face with people who have taken the step, received the support and who can tell the story.
