Meet & Pitch

Meet & Pitch is a series of events connecting the UK investor community with the brightest up and coming businesses on the Swedish startup scene. Each event, featuring speed-dating and pitching sessions, will be focusing on different industries and sectors. The first Meet & Pitch, organised by the SCC on behalf of the UK Department for International Trade, focused on Swedish businesses within life science, biotech and health tech. A second Meet & Pitch will take place on 27 October and will invite businesses and stakeholders of the PropTech industry to meet with London based experts and attend a crash-course about the UK market.

Said about the Growth Readiness Programme

"For us the Growth Readiness Programme has been an excellent way to further grow our UK network of investors and industry professionals. The programme has given us a never before experienced connection to investors, with conversations on business opportunities and challenges, both during our 1-2-1s and in settings together with other entrepreneurs. A big praise to the SCC for being agile and restructuring the programme in order to continue creating value, when the world turned upside-down during covid-19."
