Capital, Courage & Company Building

Entrepreneurship is more than a great idea, it takes capital, courage, and resilience to build something meaningful.

Across the region, women are building companies, backing innovation, and shaping the future of our startup ecosystem. This event will spotlight their journeys, the challenges they’ve navigated, and the opportunities ahead for the next generation of founders.


What to Expect:

• Insights on building and scaling companies in the North East

• Access to capital and funding pathways

• Lessons from founders and investors
