MoneyFest returns to Milton Keynes to support SMEs

Less than a week to go until #MoneyFest is back in #MiltonKeynes.

MoneyFest is a festival of funding and finance – a chance to speak to lenders, grant funders, investors and ecosystem supporters.

Last year’s inaugural event was so popular we simply had to bring it back for 2023 and we are delighted to be hosted by venue partner MK:U and supported by so many ecosystem funding providers.

Debbie Lewis, Regional EcoSystem Manager at NatWest said NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank are all part of the NatWest Group. Collectively the largest supporter of SMEs across the UK and Ireland, through partnerships with the ECCI, programmes like Entrepreneur Accelerator and products such as MoneySense, we build financial confidence so the 19 million people, families and businesses we serve in communities can thrive.

As the biggest lender to SMEs across the country, we understand the value of small businesses to the UK economy – and to our towns and communities across the country”
