Second CONNECT North East Annual Investment conference a real success!

The second CONNECT North East conference - investing in a secure future was far more than an investment conference. It paved the way for a mutually benefitial link between the London investment community, National Government departments and innovative North East technology companies. Here is what some of the attendees had to say:

“ …..absolutely tremendous.  The speakers were impressive, the audience were impressive (and impressed) and it was particularly encouraging to witness such levels of enthusiasm from the out of region participants, including significant government heavyweights.”
