This September, we are amplifying our support for start ups with a dedicated month of events and initiatives tailored to early-stage businesses.

Across our 17 locations in the UK and Europe, our September Start Up Events will bring together innovators, founders, and business experts for a month of high-impact events dedicated to helping start-ups scale, thrive, and succeed.

With access to a curated line up of talks, panels, workshops, and networking events, entrepreneurs will be able to connect with like-minded peers, gain insights from industry leaders, and explore the full potential of AI, marketing, finance, ESG, and beyond. These events are open to all entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals both members and non-members of Clockwise in the early stages of building a business.

Start ups represent a bold, creative force in the business world. Yet many early-stage founders lack the tailored support and community they need to grow with confidence. Known for our flexible office spaces and SME-friendly environment, we are committed to filling that gap. With members of the public able to join these start up focused events for free, we are providing attendees with insights from some of the country’s leading voices in the business space. 

Chief Commercial Officer Greg Miley said; “Whether you’re just launching a new business or looking to scale, our September Start Up Events give entrepreneurs the chance to connect, learn, and grow. Clockwise is here to not only provide flexible workspaces, but also to foster vibrant communities that meaningfully support growth and innovation.”
