Venturefest 2012 will engage with the challenges facing the local and national economies.

Through its series of workshops and key note speakers we will consider:

• How we can improve the flow of funding to excellent new ideas
• The ideas that are emerging from the labs of Oxfordshire’s universities, research centres and businesses: ideas that will become ready for investment in the months and years to come
• The skills that experienced entrepreneurs can share with those just starting their business
• The scenarios confronting us and the partners and strategies that we need to be working with to a respond to them

The content of Venturefest will address these questions.
