We’re still out of breath following last week’s annual event. The energy was palpable, the connections were invaluable, and the spirit of innovation truly filled the Den.
The Dragons' Den, with its unique history and atmosphere, proved to be the perfect backdrop for our community of Innovators to come together. From the moment the doors opened, there was an undeniable buzz in the air, a testament to the excitement of like-minded individuals gathering to connect, learn, and grow.
The vibrant networking sessions saw a flurry of activity, with new partnerships blossoming and existing relationships being strengthened. The sheer delight of putting faces to names, often after countless online interactions, was a recurring theme throughout the event.
Harriet our Comms & Social Lead shares her experience:
"For me, I felt incredibly inspired by each and every interaction I had during the event. Those exciting moments when business cards were exchanged, key questions were answered, deep discussions were had, but above all, we could feel the buzz and excitement from everybody enjoying the venue itself 🙌🏼
It is always amazing to have the opportunity for our wonderful community of Innovators to meet, network, and finally put faces to names! I think we can all agree it is a pretty epic and iconic space for business owners and founders to come together."
Keith, one of our Business Assessors reflects on the day:
“I loved the energy and enthusiasm in the room. I had so many stimulating discussions and was very heartened to hear the strong support for the UK Growth Accelerator.
What a community of entrepreneurs, enterprise teams, and experts!”
