Make the most of global markets

Delegates at the Business Innovation for Growth (BIG) Conference will hear from business and tech experts who have applied innovation or expanded into global markets - ultimately increasing sales, delivering efficiencies and contributing to the bottom line.

Martin is currently a partner in M Capital Investment Partners LLP, a company focused on 'hands-on' investments in early stage businesses and establishing Studio Liddell, a fast-growing CGI animation business.

Queens Award winner and LEP member Dennis Mendoras will lead a panel of speakers who will talk about the importance of new global markets for expansion.

Phil Jones, managing director of multinational company Brother will be opening the conference by sharing what SMEs can learn from large businesses about innovation and growth.
