ScaleUp Summit - Tees Valley

The Middlesbrough ScaleUp Summit will bring together some of the region’s most recognisable entrepreneurs and business leaders for a practical conversation about growth. 

Hosted as part of North East Entrepreneurship Week, and backed by the ScaleUp Institute’s Scale Up Britain campaign, the British Business Bank, and Tees Valley Combined Authority, the Summit will explore how ambitious companies are being built from the region, across manufacturing, digital, creative, engineering, finance and business support. 

With candid insight from entrepreneurs who have built, scaled, funded and led businesses from the region, the event will look at what helps companies grow here, what still holds them back, and what needs to happen next if Tees Valley, and the wider North East, is to create more high-growth businesses.

Speakers include: 

• Irene Graham OBE, Scale Up Institute 
• Ben Houchen, Tees Valley Mayor 
• Sara Davies MBE, Crafters Companion 
• Bill Scott OBE, Wilton Engineering 
• Tania Cooper MBE, Steel Benders 
• Kimberley Turner, Double Eleven 
• Dean Benson, Visualsoft 
• Jon Dudgeon, BluSky 
• Vicky Mears, British Business Bank 
• Imran Anwar, Alt Labs
