If you are an investor with an active technology portfolio looking for high-quality deal flow and interested in shaping the investment landscape going into 2024, then this is the event for you! 

For the past 19 years, we’ve run our highly successful Investment Showcase, helping start-ups raise over £160m.
This year we’re changing things up!

As well as the opportunity to see quick-fire pitches from up to 22 deep tech, science, and innovation-led start-ups from across SETsquared’s portfolio, we’ll be hosting a series of roundtable discussions and keynotes tackling the hottest investment topics. We’re aiming to create conversation, collate opinions, and define real actions going forward.
