Gordon Stuart of Informatics Ventures, one of the firms co-ordinating the event at Assembly Rooms on May 9, said: “Once again we’re looking to uncover companies with global growth potential and ensure they have a place at EIE13 to meet potential investors.

“Since the inaugural event in 2008, we have introduced well over 150 start-ups to investors and these companies have gone on to raise tens of millions of pounds worth of seed funding.

“EIE13 will be the biggest and best to date thanks to our new strategic partnerships and sponsors, and we will be able to showcase even more ­businesses and attract larger numbers of investors.”
