What to Expect

Be Part of the Pitch

Businesses from the Innovate and Elevate Rochford Programme will be showcasing their work and pitching their services. As an attendee, you’ll play a key role by voting for the pitch that impresses you most — helping one local business win a valuable marketing support prize.

Whether you’re looking to grow your network, find new suppliers, or simply support local enterprise, this event offers the perfect opportunity to do so.

Come along, make connections, and be inspired by Rochford’s business community.

The Innovate & Elevate Rochford District Programme is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is a UK Government initiative providing funding for local investments to support the government's five national missions, including economic growth, making the UK a clean energy superpower, and breaking down barriers to opportunity. From April 2025 to March 2026, UKSPF will continue to support local projects focused on communities and place, supporting local businesses, and people and skills.
