The Alba Innovation Centre in partnership with MBM Commercial is presenting a series of lunchtime workshops offering expert advice on several aspects of growing and developing a high growth innovation business.
The first series of events which will take place throughout June will focus on 3 key stages of any company’s development. Firstly, engaging with and using a team of legal experts to help protect and grow your business, secondly, how to attract funding and finally, what to look for in an exit strategy.
Attendance at these workshops is free and offers companies the chance to get advice and knowledge from industry experts. MBM will be happy to chat with anybody who attends the workshops individually, after the event, or at a subsequent meeting.
