The Conference is designed for small and medium sized businesses based in the Tees Valley, specifically those employing fewer than 250 staff with an annual turnover no greater than €50m per annum.

However, in order to create opportunities for these businesses to grow, we recognise the need to connect them with sources of expertise, potential customers and suppliers, support organisations and investors. With this in mind, the Conference is also open to other organisations with an interest in working with small and medium sized businesses.

Teesside University has appointed ed/ge to develop and deliver the Conference. ed/ge is a specialist provider of innovation, business growth and finance support across the Northern Powerhouse and the team previously developed and delivered the VentureFest Tees Valley and VentureFest North East conferences.
