ScaleUp Summit - Sunderland

The Sunderland ScaleUp Summit brings together entrepreneurs and business leaders for a half-day event focused on the realities of building and growing ambitious businesses from the North East. 

Through honest, entrepreneur-led conversations, speakers will share what they have learned from building businesses in sectors including technology, sport, science, energy, and professional services. 

Backed by the ScaleUp Institute’s Scale Up Britain campaign, the British Business Bank, and the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority, the Summit will explore the practical questions behind regional growth: why founders choose to build and retain their HQ here, whether businesses can access the talent they need, and how finance, support, and ambition can help more North East companies scale.

Speakers include: 

• Irene Graham OBE, Scale Up Institute 
• Paul Callaghan OBE, The Leighton Group 
• Dave Martin, British Esports 
• Fozia Salem, Magnitude Biosciences 
• Neil Spann, Power Roll 
• Rita Collins, Natwest Bank 
• Jon Dudgeon, Blu Sky
