The Business & IP Centre’s Start-up Day 2024 returns on Tuesday 19th November 2024, hosted at the Northampton Central Library.

This inspiring event is set to be a key gathering for aspiring entrepreneurs and established business minds alike. The day is packed with talks, workshops, and networking opportunities aimed at empowering local talent and supporting innovative business ideas.

NNBN, a prominent supporter of local businesses, charities and organisations, will be present at Start-up Day to discuss a range of valuable opportunities available to the business community and showcase how they have helped local businesses grow since launching in February 2022.

Highlights of Start-up Day 2024 include:

– Engaging Talks: Learn from top speakers such as Hannah Brady of Brady Creative on how to succeed in business, and join a panel of grant-winning entrepreneurs as they share their journeys to success.

– Workshops: Participate in a mini workshop led by Marie-Louise O’Neill of Lovely Evolution on ‘Getting Known’ and discover practical tips to elevate your business.

– Networking & Stands: Explore the market area featuring organisations such as West and North Northamptonshire Council Economic Development Teams, Building Business Consultancy, FSB, Lucidity IP, and many more.

– Complimentary Headshots: Professional photographer Samantha Peel of Welly Pictures will offer free business headshots to attendees.

NNBN Director Simon Cox said “Starting a business is an exciting place to be but are local people aware of some of the support available to them ? The Start-up Day organised by the Business & IP Centre provides a great platform for enterprising people to explore and consider their next steps as they enter the world of business.”

“We’re delighted to be involved again and look forward to attending on the day, showcasing some of the work we’ve done since we launched in February 2022 and how we’ve helped micro businesses and small businesses move forward.”

Participants booked through Eventbrite and who check in on the day will have the chance to win a one-hour business photography session, courtesy of Welly Pictures.
