Building Inclusive Capital Across the North Roundtable
ClimbUK and Diversity VC are pleased to invite you to join a select group of investors, founders, and ecosystem partners for an interactive roundtable focused on building a more inclusive, data-driven venture ecosystem across the North.
With the Government’s growing focus on regional prosperity and the British Business Bank’s continued investment in entrepreneurship, this is a pivotal moment to ensure that economic growth also means inclusive growth.
This session will bring together leading LPs, GPs, accelerators, and public-sector leaders to:
Explore what a thriving, inclusive Northern ecosystem could look like by 2028.
Identify the key actions, data standards, and collaborations needed to achieve it.
Special speakers include: Tracy Brabin the Mayor of West Yorkshire, Tom Adeyoola - Executive Chair at Innovate UK, Megan Phoenix - Investment Manager at British Business Bank, Hana Hussain - Investment Director at Big Issue Invest, Barry Downes - Managing Partner at Sure Valley Ventures.
Drawing on Diversity VC’s 10 years of experience driving inclusion in venture capital, the discussion will spotlight practical tools and frameworks for funds and ecosystem actors to create meaningful, measurable change.
We hope you can join us to help define the future of investment and inclusion in the North.
Note: Signing up automatically grants you access to the Drinks & Dialogue: Building Inclusive Capital Across the North event, which will take place with the wider ecosystem following the roundtable session, from 5pm til late.
