WEBINAR: How to “sell” your business proposition - An introduction to techniques for pitching to potential investors
30 June 2017 - 30 June 2017
United Kingdom
In the frame of the EU funded Ocean Energy ERA-NET, 15 national and regional funding agencies from 8 countries are coordinating funding programmes between European countries and regions to support research and innovation in the ocean energy sector.
The European ocean energy sector is a world leader presenting the most advanced technology so far and it is recognised that ocean energy will play a role in Europe's energy objectives and it will also provide with new opportunities to stimulate technological innovation, commercial activity and competitiveness.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 99% of private sector companies, they contribute to more than half of the total added value created by businesses in the EU and they are responsible for the majority of new jobs created in Europe. Their capacity for innovation and flexibility in a changing business environment makes them crucial for Europe’s success in the global economy in general and in the OCEAN ENERGY sector in particular.
However, SMEs often face a whole range of challenges affecting their potential for growth or indeed long-term survival. Access to funding and finance is a crucial factor for any SME. In a sector not yet fully commercialised, such as the ocean energy sector, a combination of public and private support is required until the sector is ready for revenue support and private investment to dominate.
Focus: This webinar will cover the skills needed to produce and present a strong business pitch to investors and possible business partners.
Who should attend: The webinar will be suitable for SMEs and other technology developers/providers interested in techniques for securing private investment. This webinar provides an introduction to pitching for investment and is not limited to stakeholders of a particular sector.
