The Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund is pleased to be one of the partners and exhibitors at the Entepreneurs Forum in Stcockton-on -Tees on the 7th November 2019.

The event is sponsored by Recognition PR and hosted by BBC journalist and presenter Charlie Charlton, Fortune Favours the Brave is your chance to hear from inspirational speakers who are both leading and doing great things to grow dynamic businesses.

Focusing on how being brave and staying true to your beliefs can bring huge benefits to your company, our Global Entrepreneurship Week conference promises to be an inspirational day and a great chance to catch up with over 200 of your fellow North East entrepreneurs.

Fortune Favours the Brave is very much about getting under the skin of those who take chances and finding out what happens when you do – because it’s only when you step out of your comfort zone or are faced with a seemingly ‘make or break’ moment that you’re really tested.

Inspirational speakers include…

Jo Fairley, Green & Black’s

Following an early career that spanned the vineyards of Europe, the docks of Southampton and offices in Singapore, Justin founded what is now Barclays Stockbrokers. Today he is one of the most recognisable market commentators on TV, radio and in the press.

Phil Kite and Claire Hughes, Team Tyne Innovation

A schedule of ‘eat, sleep, row, repeat’ powered Phil, Claire, and their group of North East rowers to victory in January 2019 when they crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 42 days 10 hours and 26 minutes – a new record time for a mixed four.
