About LTN events

LTN aims to improve the profitability and efficiency of business by creating links between industry and the unrivalled resources offered by London and the Greater South East's universities and research institutes. LTN meetings are open only to high-level industrialists with active research key to the topic being addressed, and, world-class relevant academic experts in the field. These forums provide the perfect opportunity to promote your organisation to decision makers in research areas.

For every event, LTN invites a highly-targeted list of companies and academic scientists based on an intensive period of research. We have a strict, invitation-only policy, and do not invite VCs, suppliers, lawyers or anyone who does not have relevant research projects in the topics being addressed.

Our day events attract:

• 100-150 attendees
• 50% technology intensive companies
• 50% leading academics (suppliers of innovation)
• plus our stakeholders and government agencies/departments (e.g. Regional Development Agencies, NHS,  Department of Environment, Transport etc.)

Past delegate profile

Since its inception in February 2003, LTN has organised over 150events, Regular event evaluation confirms that participants find the events an invaluable networking tool, often attend more than one event and recommend the events to their colleagues. Companies attend from primarily the London and the Greater South-East, but have travelled from wider Europe for an event of particular interest. 60% of LTN industry attendees are at board or senior manager level, working in R&D or as Managing Director/CEO of their company. The remainder work in engineering, operations or business development and licensing, with responsibility for sourcing external innovation.

Participant feedback from previous events

'I met a vital contact at the event which would have been highly unlikely to have met them anywhere else'
Dr Mark Maconochie, University of Sussex

'It's never easy trying to get hold of the right people - and there were a number of companies at the event that I have been trying to meet for a while.  The European contacts that were brought across were excellent. I have a number of interesting opportunities coming up as a result'
Tak Ishikawa, Ilika Technologies Limited
