Finding talent and making start-up connections

A huge thank you to everyone who came to the Start-Up Connections event on March 20 at the Birmingham Business School. Over 140 people made up of students, local businesses, start-up companies and professionals took part in our biggest networking event to date. At the start of the evening students and employers found out about opportunities available before a huge buffet arrived
signalling the start of a productive networking session.
