This year’s Leicestershire Innovation Festival 2024 is fast approaching with a fortnight of events for Leicestershire businesses due to take place from 5th to 16th February.
The official launch event will kick off our sixth annual Leicestershire Innovation Festival, which will bring together and celebrate Leicester and Leicestershire businesses, sharing and showcasing ideas to help businesses introduce new and alternative, more productive ways of working.
On the day we will hear from Martin McTague OBE, National Chair of the Federation of Small Businesses on how small business changes can have a significant positive impact on productivity. As National Chair, Martin works closely with government and opposition leaders, attending ministerial meetings and representing FSB and its members at the most senior UK Government levels, as well as with international institutions. Martin started his own business 35 years ago and now currently owns and manage three businesses – offering public policy, engineering and IT consultancy services, managing more than 60 employees.
You will also have the opportunity to hear from local business owners, Innovation Board members and speakers from Leicester, Loughborough, and De Montfort University Business Schools, with a panel discussion and Q&A session.
