The exciting event programme will include speakers, workshops, a showcase of innovative companies and investor meetings where you can raise funding for your business. VentureFest Tees Valley aims to attract 400 businesses, entrepreneurs and innovators from across Darlington, Stockton, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland, and is free for local businesses to attend.

Following on from last year's successful ‘Innovate Tees Valley Festival’ trial event, Tees Valley is to move onto the national innovation stage after securing a place in the VentureFest calendar of UK events. Now VentureFest Tees Valley will build on this success to showcase our innovative spirit to the UK. 

Alongside the Knowledge Transfer Network, VentureFest Tees Valley's founding partners are Innovate Tees Valley (the innovation support programme part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and run by Teesside University, NEPIC, the Materials Processing Institute and Digital City) and Tees Valley Combined Authority.
