Scaling to Australia: Founder-to-Founder Fireside Breakfast

Hosted by the UK Government, Think & Grow, Oury Clark & during London Tech Week

This isn’t your typical government roundtable.  Join us for a candid, founder-led breakfast session designed for UK tech businesses eyeing expansion into Australia.

Over coffee and pastries, we’ll hear first-hand from a founder who’s done the hard yards—successes, missteps, and the personal toll of building a business on the other side of the world.  No slide decks. No polished scripts. Just real stories, practical insights, and an open forum where nothing’s off-limits (within reason).

Ask the questions you really want answered, about the business journey and the human one.  Whether you’re mapping out your first market move or wrestling with the next phase of growth, this is your chance to connect, learn, and be part of a raw and relevant conversation with others on the same path.

Who's this for?  Founders and decision makers in tech, who are actively looking at the Australian market and the broader APAC region, or have started to sell into the market.”

Please note the address and instructions for entry to the event space will be supplied via email after your registration is approved. In the interest of starting on time please : Arrive at 7:45am arrival for an 8:00am start.
