For our 1st episode of 2024, Johannah, Deb & Liam discuss potential key themes of the year ahead (politics, politics & politics).

Plus, Liam spoke with Jude Hough, an Innovation Growth Specialist at Innovate UK Edge to hear about the support available for startups through the organisation. They discuss working directly with SMEs to provide coaching and help to realise the potential of a promising innovation and get it to market, both in the UK and internationally. As someone who herself has experienced the start up journey, Jude is able to empathise with founders on funding and resource challenges, and is keen to hear from those with high growth ambitions, particularly around the themes of decarbonisation or improving the experience for the transport user. It all starts with a chat!
