Running alongside Venturefest West Midlands for another year will be Minerva Birmingham Pitch Up, a pitching competition for business owners, giving a unique opportunity for businesses to raise their profile both in the West Midlands and in front of a national audience of investors. Business owners are invited to present their ideas in a pitch for investment and stand a chance of winning one of several awards.

Venturefest is a free event which will take place on Wednesday 1st March 2023 at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, from 8:00am to 5pm.
