Start-up Day 2025

The British Library’s Business & IP Centre is your 'go to’ place to turn your bright idea into a thriving venture. Start-up Day is the most important date in our calendar – a full day designed to equip you with the knowledge, connections and inspiration you need to launch your business with confidence. 

Think of Start-up Day as a taster of what the Business & IP Centre offers throughout the year, from practical, jargon-free support and resources to a dedicated business community. 

Sneak peek of the day: 

• Hear from leaders like Ama Amo-Agyei on how to skyrocket your business growth. 

• Learn how to use social media to supercharge your business and build your community with Martha Keith. 

• Get the inside track on today’s customers and key market trends with insights  from Mintel. 

• Gain essential practical knowledge on everything from financing your start-up and protecting your business idea to what our scale-up founders wished they’d known vwhen they were starting out. 

• End the day on a high note with a fireside chat and Q&A with The Body Coach (Joe Wicks and Nikki Wicks), sharing their journey of building a colossal brand.
