We’re happy to share the success of the trade mission to Leeds the BBCC hosted for Bulgarian female entrepreneurs. The group represents some of the most dynamic and forward-thinking leaders in Bulgaria’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Day one started with a morning discussion panel at Avenue HQ on the topics of female entrepreneurship, VC funding and influence. Special thanks to Savannah Bensley, Sharon Kaur Jandu OBE, Charlotte Scott, and Helen Gibson MBE for coming together and opening the trade mission with this incredible conversation.
Then, the delegation moved on to a fireside chat at Mills & Reeve, with a focus on the activities of Lifted Ventures, supporting female entrepreneurship in the UK. We are grateful for the insights shared by Jordan Dargue, Vanessa Walton, and Zandra Moore MBE.
The day finished with a fun and crowded networking event by FinTech North!
Day two:
Our partners, David Summerbell and Claire Clark, told us about the Barclays Eagle Lab programme, and the women’s entrepreneur group Claire has been leading.
Next BCC Executive Director Desislava Miteva had the pleasure of discussing female entrepreneurship in Bulgaria, and support for entrepreneurs in the Northern Powerhouse, with the amazing Charlotte Scott.
Day three:
The mission ends back in London, with a panel discussion with our dear partners at the British Chambers of Commerce.
