What are immersions?

Our immersions bring executive teams from around the world to key hubs of innovation, from Silicon Valley to Tehran. We connect these teams with the most disruptive start-ups, VCs, entrepreneurs, accelerators and thought leaders to inspire fast-paced change.

Each immersion is curated in line with your wants and needs, from culture and ways of working, through to future business direction. As a bespoke event, the immersion is designed to inspire and support your specific strategic agenda.

Why do we run immersions?

Immersions are a transformative experience for business leaders for a number of reasons. Primarily, immersions expose companies to market-leading technologies and new practices for delivering solutions. The shared experience helps build a united vision among executive leadership, guiding the future strategic direction of the company. Companies can also learn how VC firms are investing in the next generation of firms, through a portfolio of small experiments. And finally, immersions allow executives to experience and understand the mindset of leaders who have embedded a “learn fast” mentality in organisations, creating an environment for innovation to thrive.

What an immersion looks like

We want to make sure you get the most out of your immersion, so there’s always lots on the agenda.

Meet VCs

We’ll introduce you to multiple VCs during the week, giving you the chance to meet portfolio start-up founders.

Networking events
