ÀϾÅÆ·²è

Venue – KPMG Manchester, 1 St Peter’s Square M2 3AE

Friday 17th May 2024

8-10am (networking from 7.30am)

Greater Manchester’s business sector is booming.

The size and scale was evidenced by publication of ÀϾÅÆ·²èCloud’s inaugural ‘GM 125 Rising Stars of ÀϾÅÆ·²è’ list, run in association with GM ÀϾÅÆ·²è Growth Hub.

Such was the response, the list had to be increased from the original target of 100 firms and there were still enough exciting companies to create a separate ‘Ones to Watch’ list of 30 up-and-coming businesses.

The lists showcase companies from Greater Manchester’s 10 local authority areas across four key sectors: GreenTech; digital, creative and tech; advanced manufacturing and materials; and life sciences.

To celebrate publication of both lists, a special launch event will be held in KPMG’s Manchester office, where several of the featured companies will share their stories.

The launch will be followed by a series of sector-specific roundtables across the region.
