The Midlands Spinout Showcase

Forging Ahead hosted 'The Midlands Spinout Showcase' as part of the first ever East Mids Tech Week.

Forging Ahead hosted a dozen university spinouts from across our 16 partners in the heart of our region at Derby's Vaillant Live. 

& introduced to the audience at Vaillant Live how our partnership of 16 universities is working together to supercharge commercialisation - working with the region's expert tech transfer teams to create more spinout companies, licensing opportunities and more.

Then it was the turn of spinout founders , , and Stewart Williams telling their stories and what it will take for their companies to reach new heights here in the region where they were founded.

This was followed by a packed expo stand which saw the spinout teams showcasing their game-changing tech, forging links with each other and investors, conversations which continued as part of a fantastic lunchtime reception.
