What is Venturefest South and why do we want to help?
VFS stimulates the South’s innovation ecosystem. We do it by working with key partners and influencers to fund and deliver a year-round programme of Rumble events and an annual Festival of Innovation that are designed to support our region’s businesses and to showcase the South’s talent, innovative companies, and research capabilities through bringing together innovators, entrepreneurs, and funders.
In its 8th year, our not-for-profit and all-for-growth mentality has positively impacted thousands of businesses and individuals.
Its objectives are to:
- Build the reputation of the Venturefest South region as a great place to innovate and scale
- Signpost resources, information, partners, sponsors, and ideas that growing companies need most
- Develop a vibrant ecosystem of investable opportunities and drive growth
- Offer entrepreneurs an inspirational platform to develop from
- Help established businesses explore better ways to scale and sell
- Give primes or anchor organisations a way to engage with SMEs and the innovation supply chain
- Provide early-stage businesses zero-cost opportunities to share their ideas and innovations and develop
- Deliver value to our core audience by bringing them together in interesting ways
