Annual North West Business Pitch Event: Energy & Environmental Technologies

Date

Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 10:30 - 14:00

Summary

The North West Innovation Network, UCLan, West Cumbria Business Cluster, West Cumbria Development Agency and Westlakes Science & Technology Park have collaborated to arrange an ideal pitching and networking opportunity for companies operating in the Energy and Environmental Technologies Sector (ETS).

The event will be of benefit to the following companies:

• Those based in the North West of England
• Developers of technology, products and expertise in the Energy and ETS.
• Suppliers of technology into the Energy and ETS.
• Users of products, technology and expertise from the Energy and ETS companies.

The collaborating organisations have seen the value of rapid pitching and networking activities to help support the growth of businesses.  In particular it helps to rapidly identify business development opportunities, sourcing of business-critical expertise or development of collaborative routes to market.

The aim of the event is to very efficiently integrate our networks to create new opportunities for all.  Past experience has shown that this event will help you to identify at least 4-5 very relevant business contacts that you did not know existed.

The main content of the event will be for companies who are supplying products, technology and expertise to give a 90 second elevator pitch covering the following points:

• Who you are
• What is your business
• What you have to offer other Energy and ETS companies
• What do you need from other Energy and ETS companies

Following the elevator pitches there will be time for informal networking to further explore opportunities with companies of interest.

If you do not want to pitch, then just come and be part of the audience, with the chance to identify new companies of importance to your business.
