We’re excited to announce our partnership with Climb25, the UK’s festival of business growth, which will return to Leeds for its third year on the 2nd & 3rd July 2025.

Building on the success of Climb24, which brought together more than 2,800 delegates, over 200 speakers and 250 active investors from across the world, Climb25 will showcase industry-leading innovation and provide investment-ready businesses with opportunities to make meaningful connections beyond their existing networks. The event will feature keynotes, interactive workshops and panel discussions covering some of the latest trends and challenges for companies at all stages of their growth.

Climb25 is set to be even bigger and better than ever before, yet even more intimate, offering deeper connections and greater impact for participants.

Climb25 will feature a meticulously crafted programme that tackles every aspect of scaling, from securing funding to building a winning team and conquering new markets. At Climb25, attendees will discover how to secure investment, manage finances, and navigate the funding landscape. The programme will provide insights on how to attract, develop, and retain top talent to fuel business growth, and participants will gain a deeper understanding of their target market, refine their sales strategy, and learn how to win new customers. Climb25 will also explore how to harness cutting-edge technologies and drive innovation for a competitive edge, and attendees will learn how to expand their horizons and conquer new markets with confidence.

Gordon Bateman, founder of Investor Ladder and Climb25, explains: “Climb25 is designed to empower businesses with the knowledge, confidence, connections, and access to funding they need to scale successfully. We recognise that many businesses struggle to navigate the complex world of investment and expansion, and we’re passionate about providing them with the tools and resources to overcome those challenges. At Climb25, attendees will gain invaluable insights from industry leaders, forge powerful connections with investors and mentors, and discover the strategies and opportunities that will fuel their growth.”

Anu Khurmi, Director at Templar Executives, says: “In today’s digital world, robust Cyber Security isn’t just a safeguard – it’s an enabler of growth. We’re looking forward to Climb25 as an industry opportunity to discuss how strong security foundations supported by informed business leadership can unlock new opportunities, build resilience and empower high-growth companies and startups.”
