Secerna LLP Partner Charlotte Watkins is set to join the dragon panel at the upcoming Innovation Supper in York on Thursday, 15th October.
The event provides a platform for regional entrepreneurs and early-stage companies to present their business models, receive expert evaluation, and explore avenues for strategic growth. During the session, six selected businesses will pitch their ideas to a panel of experienced industry leaders and advisors.
Alongside Charlotte Watkins, the panel features Henry Rigg, Andrew Bishop, and Sarah Fitzgerald. Together, the panellists will provide constructive feedback, challenge business assumptions, and offer guidance on critical aspects of commercial scale-up, including trade mark protection, intellectual property strategy, and business development.
The Innovation Supper forms part of ongoing efforts to bolster the regional enterprise ecosystem by connecting founders with legal, financial, and strategic guidance.
