Join us at this breakfast event to help unlock your innovation potential. Hear about how you can identify and overcome potential barriers, meet with industry experts to develop and commercialise your innovative solutions, and how you can grow your business in the UK and export overseas.

Guest speaker

The guest speaker Chris Etchells Director of KMS Solutions, producer of ‘Keep In Touch (KIT)‘ wristbands, will share how his company has grown through innovation. He will outline the challenges the company faced in financing the product development and the solutions that facilitated market entry.
