Business Week is structured around ‘The Path to Growth’ and explores the building blocks required to achieve this. There will be a key theme for each day such as strategies for growth, funding and finance and working in partnership will be explored in depth in workshops such as:

How to Motivate Your Team In 7 Minutes
Preparing your business for investment
Selling to new markets with e-commerce
The benefits of collaboration

Indirect benefits

Although the direct benefits of communicating with the local business community are clear we believe that involvement in this initiative will offer sponsors secondary benefits such as:

CSR - be seen as a business supporting your business community
The Big Society - be involved in a local authority/private sector initiative
Branding - Add personality to your business through involvement
Differentiating your business - from the competition (ask about exclusivity)
Positioning - Align yourself with our innovative content
