“Our Access to Finance Conference takes place just 4 days before UK Tech Week, providing an important prelude to what will be a fabulous week to celebrate the strength of the UK’s tech sector.

Our conference will focus on a crucial aspect of tech development for a crucial sector – early-stage finance and funding for climate tech innovators. The day will be packed with high-value activities, including fireside chats with early-stage investors; elevator pitches from innovative companies; insights and advice from multinational corporations, speed dating, and more.

Speakers will be representing organisations like EDF, HSBC Innovation Banking, BMW MINI, Elbow Beach Capital, Innovate UK, Clean Growth Fund and more. We’ve been building a world-leading climate tech ecosystem in Oxfordshire and the South East and we invite climate tech founders, investors and ecosystem supporters to join us on 12th March at Oxford North, Oxford’s newest and best-connected innovation district.”
