Do you run a tech business, or are you planning on launching one? Come to Knowledge Dock on 29th November for inspiration, ideas and practical advice from experts at the University of East London and the city’s tech sector to help you on your way.
The journey will start out at pre-launch and end with a talk from a successful tech entrepreneur, with several stop-offs along the way where you’ll get knowledge on how to access finance, what support exists within the London tech community, how tech businesses and Universities can collaborate…and much more.
We’re asking all speakers to give you some key tips, advice and knowledge that you can take away and apply to your own business. Lunch is provided and London’s most popular tech networking event, Silicon Drinkabout, will be held at Knowledge Dock immediately after the event, so there’s even more reason to come and spend your Friday afternoon with us.
