Platform for growth-stage businesses Scale has revealed the launch of SCALE Manchester in November, an event formed to both celebrate and accelerate the evolution of scaleups across the North West.

Following a successful London event in April in which thousands of founders, investors and ecosystem partners met at the Business Design Centre, SCALE Manchester will be hosted at Freight Island on 25th November 2026.

The day will be centred on connecting founders with those who can offer genuine support via roundtables, speed networking and more. It will centre around the key theme of access to growth capital, as the North West’s scaleup ecosystem experiences a phase of dynamic growth.
