Connects Network is a not-for-profit, relaxed and informal networking opportunity facilitated by number of local business owners in the Staffordshire area who enjoy bringing people together and promoting the many positive aspects of local community.

This month, Connects Network is working with Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, supported by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF,) Keele University and the Newcastle-under-Lyme Business Improvement District, to host a much larger session at Keele University's Innovation Centre 6, an amazing space for collaboration and networking.

The event is completely free, and includes lunch and refreshments.

For this meeting, we have three speakers, with short talks around Keele University's fantastic FLOURISH programme and the newly-formed Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent LVEP.

FLOURISH - Keele University's programme pairs students or recent graduates with local businesses for fully-funded projects, aiming to foster innovation and growth.
