BritAsia Partners with Essex Innovation Centre to Host Third ‘PitchIt’ Event

BritAsia has teamed up with the Essex Innovation Centre to increase SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) partnerships in the region. 

University of Essex’s Business Support Manager, John Stenhouse, welcomed the event that provides SMEs with the opportunity to secure investment – enabling businesses to scale and grow across the UK.

On Wednesday 2 March, the Innovation Centre at the University of Essex played host to a panel of distinguished investors including Jat Kara from Beauchamp Capital and Howdy Singh from Kuflink, Sarah Livingstone and Nitish Patel — as ten budding entrepreneurs pitched their ideas to secure funding.
