Join us for an evening focused on strategic networking, not as a buzzword, but as a practical skill for entrepreneurs and innovators alike.
This event brings together participants from local university campus incubators, creating a chance to connect with people working on ideas, startups, and projects across the city.
The programme combines a moderated panel discussion with experienced ecosystem builders and a hands-on working session.
Together, we’ll explore why strategic networking accelerates business growth, what effective networks look like in practice, and how to design a personal networking strategy aligned with your goals.
The evening is designed to move beyond surface-level advice. Participants will reflect on their own position within the ecosystem, identify meaningful connections, and begin shaping an approach to networking they can actively put into practice.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
The event is free, and open to all interested interested in scaling entrepreneurship to a new level through strategic networking. Spaces are limited and registration is required.
