The event, taking place Aura Innovation Centre at the Bridgehead Business Park near Hessle in East Yorkshire on May 16, is aimed at businesses across Hull, East Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.

Guests can book a free place on a 30-minute ‘speed support session’ of their choice.

Sarah Clark, Operations Manager at Aura, said: “We fully appreciate how busy business owners and leaders are, so we’re bringing our support programmes and schemes together under one roof to allow businesses to drop in and meet them - all in one place and at the same time.

“It will be hugely worthwhile for businesses to visit the event because, in just 30 minutes, they’ll get a clear snapshot of the wide and varied range of support on offer to them.”

Sarah added: “Whether you’re looking to consult with our experts, develop your people or drive innovation, I’d encourage you to start your day by attending this fast-paced, fun and engaging session.

"The format is just like speed dating - but without the chat up lines - and has been designed to make it quicker and easier for businesses to connect with the University’s many different support programmes.

"Simply choose your preferred 30-minute speed networking slot or come along to network at a time to suit you.”

After attending the Speed Support Session of their choice, guests will have an opportunity to network with like-minded businesses over a complimentary breakfast.
