What Attendees Say

Watch the video of a selection of our attendees sharing their thoughts of their experience at our Super Connect Series events:

“Agile Automations is a Robotic Process Automations business working with clients to automate their business’ processes, to unlock the true potential of their work force. Empact Ventures were an obvious partner for us; in working with us to act as a super connector to our business; they have not disappointed! The team really do become an extension of you and your business; they take the time to really understand your business, what you are trying to achieve and how you add value to clients; positioning themselves to add the highest level of value to you”

(Bournemouth Pitch day, Oct 2018)

Martin Keelagher

CEO of Agile Automations (SME - Manchester)

“The Manchester Super Connect Series was an amazing day for me and my team, and it already looks like it will result in new clients and partnerships for Ugenie. Not only did it give us a great sense of some of the amazing innovation going on in the Manchester area, we met an incredible array of potential local partners for our technology. I had specifically traveled from London to Manchester as the Empact Team had already alerted me to some great potential connections that I could make in the region”

Susan Kabani

Co-Founder & CEO, UGenie (Oct 2019 - Manchester)

"I enjoyed meeting a variety of people from new entrants to established businesses"

(Cambridge Venture Lab, July 2018)

Nigel Sandbrook

Former Head of Manufacturing East England for Lloyds Bank (Cambridge)

We received a lot of value from the conversations we had yesterday and the event was even better than the one I went to last year in London. The introduction of the panel discussion and fireside chat gave even more depth to the day and I learned a lot from the speakers”

Martin Grace

Co-Founder, DataKB

“ Hays are incredibly proud to have again partnered on the Empact corporate pitch day. The event in Bournemouth was superb, with a good range of tech businesses pitching including companies with IoT, apps, cyber and data products and services. It was a pleasure to be involved again and I look forward to partnering with Empact on future pitch days. Representatives from corporates included LV=, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, Selwood, a number of Hays SME client’s and Hays Director of Digital Services Manoj Agarwal. The event helped to strengthen our commitment to working with start-up organisations in Bournemouth, superb networking opportunities with the corporates and start-ups that attended and an opportunity to help the start-ups scale their businesses as time goes on. There is plenty to follow ups on from these events and we have placed people and received new clients directly from the events."

(Bournemouth Pitch Day, March 2018)

Martin Pardey

Business Director at Hays (Corporate - Bournemouth)

“We really appreciate Empact organising Corporate Pitch Day in Bournemouth free of charge for startups, as often this type of events happen in larger cities. It was great to meet local people working in exciting projects and had the opportunity to connect with larger companies”

(Bournemouth Pitch Day, March 2018)

Manuel Martin Salvador

Co-Founder of Sensovo (Startup - Bournemouth)

“Empact Ventures team has truly been a breeze. The team take the time to fully understand your organisation and key performance indicators, so that they target the appropriate start-ups for the event. They also liaise with all parties and manage the event completely. I only had to turn up and everything was organised. The added value for us was certainly in the facilitation of connections/collaborations which focused both parties on identifying clear synergies and next steps to make the collaboration a reality. We are currently progressing discussions with the start-ups that presented, as well as a couple of investors that were in the room. Overall, this was the true definition of a networking event”

Vee Mapunde

Programme Director, National Institute for Health Research Srgical MedTech Co-operative

“We are motivated to support the very real and human impact from the accelerating speed of transformation and change. We must continually adapt in order to thrive in this new era, Super Connect Series events we can showcase our vision of a better tomorrow. Disruption is a two sided coin, and we are building assessments and coaching solutions to drive positive and inclusive outcomes. Developing resilience, flexibility, reducing stress and enhancing mental wellbeing, ensuring no-one is left behind.”

Ross Thornley

Co-Founder Adaptai.co

"Fantastic day, some great networking opportunities and great to finally visit the Bradfield Centre. The calibre of attendees was fantastic, everyone had a viewpoint and it was great to see how well the various startups from a fairly wide area within East Anglia were doing. The speakers and pitchers were excellent."

(Cambridge Venture Lab, July 2018)

Chris Pont

Director of IJYI Ltd (SME - Ipswich)

“Organising any event takes time and commitment. Kosta and the Empact team had clearly done their homework in assembling a diverse group of companies and people who had a lot to potentially gain from connecting. The personalised briefing sheets provided at the start were especially helpful in identifying people to speak to and in starting conversations. For me personally, the event has directly lead to several follow up meetings that led to investments and even advisory contracts in scale-ups. I am sure that will be the same for other attendees. The day passed very quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to attending a similar Empact event in future”
