Looking to access funding to support your growth or develop your ideas? Trying to navigate the many funds and don’t know where to begin? Then start here with our whistle stop tour of different funding opportunities and the support available to rail businesses to successfully secure the funding you need.
This event will provide an opportunity for members to briefly hear from several organisations about potential access to funding / funding opportunities. Following the short presentations members will have the opportunity to network with the presenters and each other in smaller groups / one to one sessions using our highly interactive networking platform.
Our presenter line up is:
