Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with Leandros Kalisperas, Chief Investment Officer of the British Business Bank, the Government’s economic development bank and the largest domestic investor in UK venture and venture growth capital.
In this candid discussion with a select audience of around 30 founders, investors and business leaders, Leandros will explore the UK’s growth challenge and how the country can create the conditions for ambitious businesses to start, scale and stay here. The conversation will consider what needs to change across the ecosystem to better support those businesses, and how the Bank can use its position to strengthen that ecosystem and mobilise private capital behind them. Leandros will also share what he is seeing across the Bank’s investment business and his perspective on the Bank’s evolving role.
Leandros Kalisperas is the first Chief Investment Officer of the British Business Bank. He takes on responsibility for the entirety of the British Business Bank’s investment business, including the Nations and Regions Investment Funds, the Enterprise Capital Funds programme, as well as sourcing and delivering investments for the new British Growth Partnership.
Leandros will be in conversation with Philip Salter, Founder of The Entrepreneurs Network. After a short introduction, the floor will open to the audience, giving attendees the chance to put their questions to Leandros. When requesting a place, please include a question or more you’d like to raise. We won’t be able to cover every question on the day, but we’ll get through as many as we can.
