Building on the themes from the BIMA Glasgow launch breakfast in May: Incubating Innovation, this round table breakfast session will delve into how digital innovation can impact your business, explore how to finance it, and maximise your profits from it. 

Our two speakers will cover the cultural, operational and financial challenges in delivering innovation within your organisation, and to your clients, opening the conversation to lively debate and practical advice shared across the breakfast table.

About the Roundtable format:

Held under Chatham House Rules, the breakfast is free to BIMA members and is tailored for company directors, finance directors, or your senior team members responsible for the strategic vision within your organisation.

The session will be opened by Lisa and Adam, but the format is for everyone around the table to share their experiences, challenges and benefit from expert insights and advice.

How to be involved:

Numbers for the breakfast are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come basis. In the first instance we will limit it to one place per company. Contact annadoyle@bima.co.uk
