What People Say
Hear from those who have attended our Super Connect events to learn why they attended, about their experience and/or the value it brought to their business:
“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”

“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”

“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”

"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."

“ 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."
