We are delighted that UEA for Business is the headline sponsor of the Norfolk Chambers of Commerce Business Zone at this year’s Royal Norfolk Show. As Norfolk’s largest two-day event, the Show brings together thousands of visitors and businesses from across the region, creating a valuable space for collaboration and practical business engagement. The Business Zone provides a focused environment for organisations of all sizes to connect, exchange ideas, and explore new opportunities.
A central part of our presence will be an opportunity for businesses to book one-to-one discussions with UEA representatives and experts.
Alongside this, we’ll be running a series of informal drop-in sessions across both days, designed to reflect the challenges and opportunities we’re seeing across our work with businesses. These sessions are designed to explore how collaboration with the university can support business priorities, from funding opportunities and research to leadership development and workforce skills.
