Southern Innovation Catalyst 2.0
For the second time, the board of Venturefest South warmly invites you to The Southern Innovation Catalyst 2.0, an exclusive event designed to bring together business leaders like you to shape the future of the southern region’s innovation ecosystem.
The state of our ecosystem directly impacts your business.

- What your business and network are already doing that we can amplify, connect, or catalyse.
- Strategies to enhance our collective capabilities and support shared goals.
- How the 2025/26 VFS programme can deliver meaningful benefits to your organisation and the region.
Learn from Peers: Hear from VFS partners about the tangible benefits they’ve gained through collaboration and how their involvement has shaped the ecosystem.
