SEEKING routes to alternative funding is the theme of an event at Queen’s University Belfast tomorrow.
The University’s successful venture spin-out company, QUBIS Ltd, and the Chief Executives’ Club at Queen’s, have organised the ‘Why settle for Bronze, when the Gold is out there?’ event to allow business leaders to learn from funding specialists, and each other, about the range of options currently available to fund business growth strategy.
“We know there are some great companies in Northern Ireland being held back from reaching their potential simply because of the lack of readily available finance, and so Queen’s wants to do all it can to facilitate an exchange of experience and expertise from across the business community,” said QUBIS CEO Frank Bryan. “It is essential that local SMEs are able to access the funding they need to develop and expand.”
