Edison Growth Conference – May 2024

We are pleased to invite you to the inaugural Edison Growth Conference on Tuesday 14 May at Saddlers’ Hall in London.

This half-day event will connect growth companies with professional investors through three panel discussions, one-to-one meetings and networking opportunities.

We’ve assembled an impressive line-up of panellists to discuss key trends for the year ahead. With innovation and sustainable growth at the forefront of investors’ minds in 2024, we look forward to facilitating meaningful conversations between tomorrow’s leading companies and the investment community.

Registration starts from 8:30am.

9:00-9:50am – Panel: Disruptive technology and AI

Moderated by Edison’s Dan Ridsdale, head of technology

Artificial intelligence has become the central theme across the technology investing narrative while driving a concentration of capital towards the technology majors. Where are the opportunities in the rest of the business ecosystem and who is at risk?

• Cyrus Mewawalla, head of thematic intelligence, GlobalData (LSE:AIM)

10:00-10:50am – Panel: 2024 – the year of M&A?

Moderated by Edison’s Neil Shah, executive director, content and strategy and Rob Murphy, managing director, head of content – financials and investment trusts

Will M&A make a resurgence in 2024, continuing the trend of the last quarter of 2023? We look at a group of companies with inorganic growth as a key part of their growth strategy or a key component to deliver shareholder value.

Featuring:

• Ivo Hobson, head of UK, Mutares (XETR:MUX)
• Claude Mikkelsen, director of investor relations, BB Biotech (SW:SIX)
• James Isola, head of communications, Oakley Capital (LSE:OCI)

Coffee break

11:30-12:20am – Panel: Decarbonisation

Moderated by Edison’s Andrew Keen, managing director, head of content, energy and resources

Decarbonising the energy system is driving some pockets of high growth. We will seek to identify the innovators and those exposed to this growth.
