The Global Approach: Building Bridges, Accelerating Growth will take place on 12 November 2026 at the Edinburgh Futures Institute. This event focuses on the globalisation of ideas and connections within Edinburgh’s innovation community, featuring discussions on fundraising, journeys of researcher-turned-founders, and export finance. It aims to foster meaningful connections among innovators from various backgrounds.
Edinburgh is well-versed in building bridges but what does it actually take to go global? From US biotech investors sharing their fundraising advice, researcher-turned-founders sharing their journeys, and a session on export finance, join us for a Thursday Gathering on building bridges and accelerating growth. Meaningful ideas and changes are sparked when serendipitous connection collides with intention. The Thursday Gathering is our free, weekly meet-up that connects people from across Edinburgh’s innovation community to make things happen. Every Thursday, we bring together innovators of all backgrounds, from founders and investors to students and researchers, to discuss big ideas and connect human to human.
