Connect Midlands is a not-for-profit network, linking high-potential technology businesses and entrepreneurs, with the business training, finance, management and customers they need to succeed.

Connect Midlands is a programme based across the East and West Midlands. We are the regional network for high growth technology businesses. Our programme is a fundamental part of the process of enabling entrepreneurs to grow and succeed!

Our particular aim is to secure equity based finance for early stage companies – up to £3.5m. We offer high-potential investment opportunities, giving access to over 300 businesses each year, all pre-screened and selected for high-growth.
 
The Connect Midlands programmes’ are designed to add value to technology companies at different stages in the business and investment life cycle. The exchange of ideas, the facilitation of technology transfer opportunities, networking with peers and potential investors; these are some of the opportunities created by the events, primarily focussed on developing young companies to become ‘investor ready’ and meet potential investors.
 
To date we have helped over 1000 Midlands companies raise over £43 million in investment.
