Staffordshire Funding Festival 2025 attracted 250 local businesses in the Staffordshire area.

20 Exhibitors including banks, angel investor groups, venture capital firms, start up funding support.

A full day of talks introduced business owners in Staffordshire to the entire funding landscape, highlighting and educating on what is available to them.

The event, run as a partnership between The Nextgen, Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire Growth Hub and The British Business Bank, saw such success in 2025, that it has been adopted as part of the annual programme and has received a consistent level of support and interest for 2026.
