Founders can email events@businesscloud.co.uk to register their interest for this session as there are a handful of places remaining.

Nybble joins GM Business Growth Hub and S&W as sponsors, while the event is supported by Bruntwood SciTech.

Ram Gupta, managing director at Nybble.co.uk Ltd, will speak on the breakfast panel alongside other highly regarded entrepreneurs and ecosystem figures. He will also join the masterclasses a growth planning expert, while Joe Makepeace, mission specialist and senior manager at Nybble, will join the AI and technology masterclass as an expert.

“Manchester has a unique combination of ambition, creativity and community. We’ve built strong relationships here, and I’m proud that Nybble can contribute to a business community that encourages people to think bigger and support one another,” he said.
