NW Start Up Success for Ahoy!There Ltd
The 5th NW Start Up 2.0 event will take place on 17th January. One of our Associate Companies went along to a previous event and gave us some feedback.
After seeing the last NW Start Up event advertised in November's InfoTextX, Ahoy There Ltd, an associate company of InfoLab21 went along to pitch to an audience of fellow technologists, entrepreneurs, start-up companies and investors.

"Being able to experience the innovation and energy coming out of other software companies was uplifting and inspirational."
