September has been a big month

🚀 We kicked off with a Demo Directory Demo Day, welcomed founders and ecosystem partners at our Oxford Afternoon Tea and Pitch event, celebrated entrepreneurial success at the Asian Founders Awards, and joined conversations shaping the future of technology at Cambridge Tech Week and Turing Fest where we also brought together scaling founders for exclusive dinners.

📈 We saw the latest cohorts begin their journeys on our Scaleup Programme and Aquis IPO Academy, alongside a packed calendar of virtual events helping founders access insights, expertise and valuable connections.

🍂 And we're not slowing down.

October is shaping up to be another exciting month, with more events, programmes, networking opportunities and founder support on the way.

And looking ahead to November, we're bringing you Entrepreneurs Festival - a celebration of entrepreneurship featuring events taking place across the UK, designed to connect, inspire and support founders at every stage of their journey.

Keep an eye on our channels for more information and how you can get involved. We can't wait to share what's next 👀

How important is international investment to UK startups and scaleups?

Our latest report, Financing the Future, found that deals involving foreign investors represented less than 10% of UK equity transactions over the last decade, yet accounted for more than half of total investment value raised.

The research also highlights the growing role of AI, which accounted for 44.4% of foreign-backed equity deals in H1 2026, up from 24.3% in 2023.
