Hypergrowth and scaling
In the new market, hypergrowth might seem like a long shot. But what can we learn from the companies who have recently led the way? Join the people who led incredible startups to the top, and find out about the mistakes they made, the challenges they faced, and how they succeeded by scaling operations in the right way.

Funding

Explore the ins and outs of securing startup funding and learn how to get the money you need in this new economic landscape.  The most successful startups will gather to discuss what works when raising the rounds to propel a young company through hyper-growth.

Purpose and profit
We celebrate the emerging companies that – rather than focusing purely on profit – prioritise purpose, and strive to make a positive impact beyond the profit line. Top founders and CEOs discuss how they implement tech for good.
Adapt for success
What can you do if your business is not working? After years of unprecedented disruption to normal business, and new pressure from a challenging economy, we learn the power of adapting to grow. High-growth companies discuss how they pivoted to success.
