Let's Get Together and Co-Innovate

Let’s Get Together and Co-Innovate with guest speaker Ash Verma of Ash Verma Consulting Ltd, who specialises in International Trade

For registered London businesses 

COVID-19 has already had a significant impact, to date, on business to business and business to consumer activities locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. 

A question many of you are asking may be “To survive - How quickly can I adapt my business to continue to thrive under current and potential future circumstances?”. Where possible businesses are able to take advantage of current technology to switch to offering their services/products primarily online, however, for some this was not a viable option.

We all know that it will be some time before we get back to a pre-2019 norm, we will have to adapt to the new normal. We are introducing the “Let’s Get Together and Co-Innovate” events as an opportunity where business owners can get together when convenient to chat informally about their current issues, share tips, experiences and business solutions.

'' This event encourages business owners to explore ideas and discuss possible solutions for London SMEs seeking to access emerging markets to do business together with the Co-Innovate team of experts and guest speaker Ash Verma of Ash Verma Consulting Ltd.''
