What to expect
Carbon Limiting Technologies (CLT) are delivering the events series for Innovate UK and will assess your application and inform you of the outcome, providing you with time to prepare and practice your pitch. This will include a mandatory rehearsal session with a CLT expert to provide feedback on your pitch and support your preparation. On the day, you will be allocated a space to exhibit your company as well as having the opportunity to pitch to and engage in conversation with investors and corporate buyers of your solution. The session will operate on a speed pitching basis, with small groups of investors coming to you in 10-minute slots for face-to-face pitching to ensure that you are able to engage with as many investor and corporate attendees as possible.
