SCALE Expo & Summit

SCALE Expo & Summit is the UK's premier event for ambitious founders, scaleup leaders, investors, and policymakers, held at the Business Design Centre in London. The 2026 edition brings together the talent, tools, and partners unlocking UK business growth across two days of keynotes, workshops, and networking. The conference programme focuses on the critical challenges facing growing businesses: access to capital, markets, talent, and leadership. Expert speakers and successful founders share insights on scaling operations, securing investment, entering international markets, and building high-performance teams. The exhibition floor features service providers, technology platforms, and professional advisors supporting business growth, from venture capital and private equity to HR technology, legal services, and marketing platforms. The event creates direct connections between scaleup founders and the ecosystem supporting their growth. SCALE features the inaugural Women Who Scale programme, championing female founders and leaders driving business growth across the UK.
