Join GCE Ocean Technology’s Capital and Investor Programme for free!
The webinar series will be targeting how to develop business plans, interacting with investors, handling the investment process and building investor presentations. The programme will be free of charge for members in Ocean Hyway Cluster.
No matter how great your product or business idea is – no matter how lean you are able to operate, more capital and financial leverage will almost inevitably be a necessity for most small and medium-sized companies. Securing an adequate capital base is therefore one of the most important tasks facing company leaders. Having the right capital base will – together with good capital allocation - help the company to grow profits and maximise shareholder returns.
Target Group
The courses are targeted towards entrepreneurs, CEO’s, CFO’s, Finance Managers, Business Developers and anyone working on scaling up their business.
The course modules can be taken separately, however, we recommend to following every module to not miss out on important elements to understand what gives a good overall process. The slides and all written material will be presented in English, but the lectures will be given in Norwegian. You can register for the webinar on 23 March here. See information regarding the other webinars below.
