David and Liz travelled to London to join the eight other SMEs to present the outcomes from their participation in the programme.
This year’s challenge partners were Department for Transport, Network Rail, Transport for London, and Amey. It was coordinated by WAYRA UK (part of Telefonica) and Connected Places Catapult.
The programme involved in-depth advice on everything from storytelling skills to building an equality, diversity and inclusion plan* to navigating procurement processes to strategy to fundraising.
“The programme has been a deep dive into the tools needed to grow. We’d like to thank all the challenge partners and we look forward to that leading to some exciting new projects in 2023” says David Stewart, Esoterix’ CEO.
“Getting to know the other SMEs has been a real bonus” added Liz Davidson (Esoterix Chief Marketing Officer) “Nobody gets the challenges you’re facing better than someone who is also facing them. The opportunity to compare notes – and even explore partnerships – has been invaluable. We hope our paths cross again soon.”
