Top entrepreneurs and local business leaders will gather to network and share ideas at a special event next week.

The latest Invest Middlesbrough Breakfast Exchange takes place in the newly refurbished Town Hall on Thursday, March 14.

The free networking event provides businesses with an opportunity to meet up on a less formal basis, chat and share, learn more about Middlesbrough’s ambitious regeneration plans and do business.

The Spring 2019 Breakfast Exchange gets under way at 7.30am, with this month’s spotlight on the Boho Next Generation report which maps out the next phase of Middlesbrough’s cutting edge digital sector.

The bold commercial development is being led by Middlesbrough Council in partnership with Middlesbrough’s Digital Cluster and the Tees Valley Combined Authority.

This exciting project will build on the already established Boho Zone, creating a state-of-the-art Digital Campus for Middlesbrough’s growing list of digital brands. The project works to provide both short- and long-term commercial office space to support the town’s rapidly expanding digital sector.

The scheme will also bring wider benefits to Middlesbrough, complementing its mix of residential, leisure and educational proposals for Middlehaven area and Middlesbrough’s historic and central quarters.

Councillor Lewis Young, Middlesbrough Council’s Executive member for Economic Development and Infrastructure, said: “A thriving business community is the lifeblood of a vibrant and diverse city centre economy which will drive future success and growth across Middlesbrough and beyond.

“Our Breakfast Exchanges are a fantastic informal forum which enables our entrepreneurs to find out the latest news, share ideas and forge new partnerships.

“As ever, the latest event will be packed with information relevant to the local business community, so I hope as many businesses as possible will come along.”

The next Business Breakfast Exchange takes place at Middlesbrough Town Hall on Thursday, March 14 from 7.30am to 9.30am. Book your place online.
