Scaling up and Business Purpose

The roundtable will address the role of purpose in scaling up businesses. There is growing evidence that businesses that adopt a purpose approach to growth and profitability are becoming attractive to investors. There is, however, a lack of certainty in how best to address:

· How purpose can enhance productivity.

· How to balance purpose with financial pressures during scale-up

· Investor perspectives of purpose in business

· Long-term value of purpose for resilience and sustainability

The roundtable will bring together leading experts from business, investment, policy, and research to consider these areas for Q&A and wider discussion. The outputs from the event include a policy and investment briefing paper and will inform a purpose and productivity toolkit that is under development for Spring 2025.

Speakers and the final agenda will be confirmed shortly.

The event will be hosted by Clare Reid, Director of Policy & Public Affairs at Prosper, who leads the Policy team and drives initiatives in government engagement, Peer Works, and Stemovators. She is passionate about connecting with diverse individuals and fostering partnerships across industries to make a positive impact.
