about this room

A 50-minute panel on why founders choose to build in Bristol, and what keeps them here once they could go anywhere.

On stage: Christopher Penfold, Commercial Director at ForrestBrown; Kate Sikora, Managing Partner at Noble Performance; and Tom Harber of Aer Studios. The framing is the city rather than any one company - what Bristol offers ambitious businesses that other places cannot, from its creative industries through to its deep-tech side. Part of the Brazen Community Track, at The Station on Silver Street.

why go

three people who have each made the stay-or-go decision from a different vantage point, in under an hour. Useful if you are deciding where to base a company, or if you spend your time persuading other people to base theirs here.
