The Manchester Start-up/SME Challenge will take place during the Digital City Expo
It’ll be free to attend for all #DCF2020 registrees so make sure you register here.
The businesses involved on the panel – our ‘dragons’ – recognise that challenges such as delivering outstanding customer service or reducing their carbon footprint, provide opportunities for innovation and they’re keen to work with pioneering small companies to improve products and services.

There will be three sessions throughout the day, two dedicated to pitching to the buyers and one for pitching to the investors, with all sessions beginning with arrival drinks and networking opportunities.
In the investment session, start-ups and SMEs will pitch to Manchester-based investment professionals, who will share their knowledge and experience about what’s needed to secure vital financial backing and accelerate their company’s growth.
