"Over the past five years, we've worked with Empact Ventures to become a scaleup-friendly recruiter starting with training our teams to really understand the ecosystem and the scaleup journey that founders embark on as they grow their teams. Together we co-designed sixteen in-person pitching events in nine UK cities to support founders with market access and fundraising opportunities. We are proud to have to have co-designed the Super Connect for Good competition and the associated reports to recognise the best emerging Tech for Good startups and scaleups making a positive impact through technology".

“We’re proud to sponsor initiatives such as the fantastic Super Connect events, which help to super-charge our ambitions to drive the region’s economic growth in key areas such MedTech and AI. The latest Super Connect event once again presented excellent collaborative and networking opportunities for start-up and scale-up businesses in Dorset.”

“I was really impressed with the attendee list with some globally recognised brands mixing with local, regional and national start ups. The pitches from the startup companies were all very good and the content so wide reaching and innovative. I have also been impressed with the follow up from the meeting in that personal emails / introductions have been made between relevant people / companies. The feedback from the day has all been positive and we would like to host more of these types of events in the future”

"Since working together, we've gained an excellent partner to co-host events with, scout high potential entrepreneurs, and ‘super connect’ us to potential partners outside our bubble. The team go out of their way to really understand your requirements, scout for the right people and opportunities that match them before facilitating introductions. They go one further to track the outcomes of the introductions they make and report them on an ongoing basis. Overall in just half a year we've co-hosted two events in Bournemouth and London creating valuable exposure to a wide network, while supporting us to scout and secure 25% of our Thrive Programme"

"Kosta has been really great on our advisory board who tries to make connections and definitely is like another member of the team that we wouldn't have otherwise. The service provided of connecting startups with the right people is really needed, we need it. The Super Connect Manchester event was an amazing day for me and my team, and it already looks like it will result in new clients and partnerships for Ugenie.  Not only did it give us a great sense of some of the amazing innovation going on in the Manchester area, we met an incredible array of potential local partners for our technology. I had specifically traveled from London to Manchester as the Empact Team had already alerted me to some great potential connections that I could make in the region”

“Empact Ventures fills a gap the startup industry has long been missing. Kosta and his team go above and beyond to help startups grow and scale by opening the toughest doors - funding, corporates, PR and clients. Working with them for the past three years has been a dream and my only wish is for more startups to have access to Empact's offering”.

"Working with Empact Ventures has been an outstanding experience. Their team provided exceptional strategic and operational support in delivering high-quality innovation and ecosystem events, including a National HealthTech series event in January 2026. From stakeholder engagement and partnership development through to event execution and audience curation, Empact Ventures consistently demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and a genuine commitment to driving meaningful collaboration across the health and innovation sectors. Their ability to connect founders, industry leaders, investors, healthcare organisations, and public sector stakeholders created real value for attendees and partners alike. I would highly recommend Empact Ventures to any organisation looking to deliver impactful innovation-focused events and ecosystem programmes"
