Now is the time for Connect Yorkshire's Autumn Investment Forum, held in Leeds on 29 November-because the deadline is only two weeks away (Monday 2nd October 2006)

Run by Connect Yorkshire, the organisation that primes technology firms for growth and investment, the Forum is a unique platform for ambitious technology companies seeking finance to meet potential investors. Up to 10 companies will present a short investment proposition to an invited audience of over a 100 delegates including specialist investors and top business advisors.

Not only does the event itself provide a great opportunity to raise finance but the preperation in the weeks beforehand gives intensive one on one support and advice to those seeking investment. Designed to help you hone your pitch, this groundwork helps to ensure your business has the best possible chance of success.

Connect's Managing Director Mr. Glen Hopkinson, said,"The Investment Forum is a fantastic way to be seen by the right pepole at the right time. It brings together yorkshire's technology entrepreneurs and key national players in the investment community. For the first time, the exhibition space will be opened up to companies who don't manage to secure a speaking slot but need to take the first steps towards obtaining investment. With the aim of showcasing a broader range of technology business, we hope a greater number of companies will benefit from the event".
