Are you searching for a co-founder? Do you want to grow your network? Come along to our networking evening to join our vibrant community and potentially meet that person you're looking for! 

To start, we will ensure everyone mixes and connects with a fun icebreaker activity, followed by a talk and Q&A from an experienced entrepreneur in our ecosystem. Next, if you have an idea or startup, you'll have the chance to share it with the room during our open mic section. Finally, we'll wrap up the evening with some free networking.
