After a year of adapting to remote working, back-to-back online meetings and an absence of face-to-face contact, RTC North is excited to be hosting an immersive and engaging digital showcase.
On May 19, this one-day event will be delivered collaboratively by both the Supply Chain North East and the Innovate UK Edge programmes in order to promote the region’s great SME’s.
In addition to allowing delegates the opportunity to hear from notable industry leaders, there will also be the chance to network on one-to-one basis with business owners.
The event will highlight a number of industrial sectors including transport, construction, health and life sciences, space as well as focusing on digital, energy and utilities.
Jamie Ollivere, managing director at RTC North, said: “In light of EU Exit and the Covid-19 pandemic, supply chains are being redrawn and we want to ensure where there is potential for local content, we highlight those opportunities, make the right connections and bolster business resilience.
“Naturally, where new supply chain opportunities present, there is also an opportunity for innovation within our business base.
“For this reason, our Supply Chain and Innovate UK Edge teams are working together on this. But this is only the start.
“On May 19, we will highlight some of the challenges but going forward our teams are here to help SMEs follow through and make the most of new opportunities.”
Throughout the day, delegates will be able to explore the wider opportunities available locally, promote their potential and illustrate collaboration opportunities here in the North-East.
From business speed networking to one-to-one meeting and virtual meetups there is something to suit every industry professional.
With a stellar line-up of speakers and a wide variety of attendees, this event will provide a fantastic boost to the local Spring networking agenda.
Working together, both the Supply Chain North East and Innovate UK Edge programmes have brought together a network of small companies, industry clusters, government departments and other organisations.
The event is fully funded for all attendees and eligible exhibitors and offers new businesses a chance to discover the advantages and benefits of attending similar events in the region.
