The success of a certain TV show might lead you to believe finding an investor is the best option however they are other options that should also be considered before making a final choice. Attendees of this event will benefit from the knowledge Innovation Martlesham (IM) has gained from working with over a hundred companies who are part of the IM cluster at Adastral Park, Ipswich, UK.
