Professional partners
Inherent in the plans to develop a successful CONNECT North East is the involvement of a number of regional partners. Organisations across the business community can benefit from CONNECT North East – as an open network, we see it as critical to encourage as many organisations as possible to be involved. The rich mix of partners will add value to the CONNECT North East network and create a broad and varied offering for CONNECT North East investors and investees as well as fellow partners.
CONNECT North East’s professional partners are private sector organisations who understand the benefits of taking a small financial stake in the CONNECT North East network in order to build and embed relationships with high growth technology companies. Their return on investment will be delivered through the ability to meet an increased number of technology companies at our partnership networking events, to respond positively to introductions and to organize and host events using the CONNECT North East brand.
