About Connect Midlands

Connect Midlands is a not-for-profit network built for entrepreneurs and investors.

Our prime purpose is to act as a facilitator and networking vehicle, uniting emerging technology businesses with the resources they need to succeed. Our focus is on improving early stage companies' understanding of, and access to, equity based finance of up to £5m.

With a comprehensive programme of practical events across the Midlands, we are the regional network for new and growing science, engineering and technology (SET) businesses. We are committed to playing a fundamental part in enabling these entrepreneurs to succeed.

Connect Midlands was officially launched through the Investment Conference, in Warwickshire in 2001, and we are part of a global Connect network.

Connect Midlands is operated by the University of Warwick which shares Connect's vision of assisting the development of regional economies, and part funded by Advantage West Midlands.

Connect InvoRed

Connect InvoRed is our investment readiness programme which helps high growth, science, engineering or technology based companies seeking private equity from £15k seed funding through to £5m institutional funding. Places on the Connect Invored programme are very limited in the West Midlands but delegates can enrol on our Amber stream programme.
