South West Annual Investment Review

This event is the third Annual Investment Review, an opportunity for investors, those who enable investment, and founders to network, share and learn together.

Our 2024 annual investment report will be launched at this event. We’ll review the figures for 2024, the implications of this, and many more stats to help you understand the nature of investment activity happening locally.

Our objectives for the session are pretty ambitious, we're set for an information-packed event that will set you up for a more connected and collaborative 2025. We're going to:

• Reflect on 2024, the patterns of activity, the headline news, the learnings
• Explore exciting initiatives planned for 2025
• Build relationships that will make 2025 an even more fruitful year
