HL BaSE Catalyst London - September 2024

The huge scope of societal and environmental issues being addressed by these excellent ventures was humbling to learn about. We would like to thank the volunteers from our clients, including Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Novartis, BNPP, Scottish Power and Metro Bank, who joined us for the workshop and in advising these inspiring organisations.  

“The advice I got was brilliant, clear and actionable. The vibe was super friendly and it was inspiring to be in the room with other changemakers too.”
