SETsquared, the partnership between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey, has collaborated with The Duke of York’s Pitch@Palace initiative since its formation and will host Pitch@Palace On Tour Bristol on 14 September, 2015. 

 The event, held at SETsquared’s Bristol innovation centre at the Engine Shed, will give entrepreneurs and start-ups operating in the Internet of Things and Smart Cities sectors a chance to be selected to attend Pitch@Palace 4.0 in London, where potential outcomes include investment offers, promotion opportunities and new customers or partners.

Pitch@Palace On Tour will provide broader opportunities for Entrepreneurs from across the United Kingdom to become more aware of the programme, receive support with the application process, and connect to local stakeholders to provide mentoring in developing their business. At each Pitch@Palace On Tour, 3 Entrepreneurs will be selected to attend Pitch@Palace 4.0 Bootcamp and Pitch@Palace 4.0 at St. James’s Palace on 2nd November, 2015.

Simon Bond, innovation director for SETsquared, said: “Pitch@Palace On Tour is a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurs developing products and services for the Internet of Things and Smart Cities fields and we know first hand that there are many exciting new businesses in the region that would really benefit from this exposure. 

“We’ve seen SETsquared members Fourth State Medicine, PixelPin, Neighbourly and Industrial Phycology all take part in previous years and had great results from the event. Holding Pitch@Palace On Tour in Bristol means we have a far better chance of showing off developments from Southern England in front of the ‘A’ list of investors, movers and shakers.”
