Why attend?

It is an opportunity for SMEs to speak to companies currently providing services to local government, and for large companies to expand the network of SMEs they work with to deliver services in this market.

SMEs can showcase their innovation and capabilities and larger companies can improve the services they deliver to local government through taking advantage of what SMEs can offer. It is a way for both sides to expand the network of companies that they work with.

Local government representatives and councils are encouraged to attend and network too!

The format for the session will involve speed dating style networking (facilitated by techUK) People will rotate around tables and have 4-5 minutes to connect.
