Conferences: Get the Most Out of Your Trade Show Experience

Exhibiting at a conference can be an extremely effective way to meet with potential customers and generate leads, as well as build your start-ups brand presence and create a buzz. But they can be expensive and if not planned well, can waste your small company’s limited resources. Advanced and strategic planning is key to making the most of the experience. So we asked two of our founders, Vaughan Wittorff, Co-Founder & Chief Commercial Officer at PetaGene, and John Pettigrew, Founder and CEO of We Are Futureproofs, for their thoughts on how to approach an exhibition.

Celebrating World Environment Day - Polysolar’s Contribution to Saving our Planet

ideaSpace exists to support founders with scalable innovative ideas which could potentially address global threats like climate change. To celebrate World Environment Day we spoke to Hamish Watson, founder of ideaSpace alumni company Polysolar – a leader in the provision of solar PV glass for energy generation in buildings. He took us through Polysolar’s story, from product inception to where it is today, and shared his thoughts on the secret to the company’s success, the challenges that have shaped its growth, and some advice on crowdfunding.
