Nov. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Concirrus are to be the UK’s only IoT Company to be invited to the SVC2UK’s Scale Up Club (http://www.svc2uk.com/).

The Scale Up Club (http://www.svc2uk.com/), formerly known as the SVC2UK 100 Club, celebrates the most-promising businesses from across Europe, with the potential to reach £100m revenue in the next 3-5 years. The CEOs of these innovative and inspirational businesses join the SVC2UK Scale Up Club alumni, and will take part in a year-round programme of mentoring sessions, networking and workshops – starting today with the CEO Summit at the London Stock Exchange.

The CEO Summit is SVC2UK’s flagship event, with leading Silicon Valley and UK entrepreneurs – for example from Facebook, Google, Edmodo, Noodle Education, Intuitive Surgical, MIO and August Capital - offering their time as mentors in small workshops to help CEOs who are scaling companies to address their current barriers to scale.

As the Scale Up Report says, if the UK manages to close the scale-up gap, the country will secure significant economic value and the competitive advantage of Britain for generations to come, including:

In the short-term, RBS analysis suggests an additional 238,000 jobs and £38 billion additional turnover is possible within three years of reversing the scale-up gap.
In the medium-term, Nesta research shows a possible boost of £96 billion per annum is possible.
Long-term analysis by Deloitte shows a potential of £225 billion additional GVA and 150,000 net jobs by 2034.

SVC2UK is a not-for-profit, volunteer-led series of events bringing together early stage investors, serial business leaders and entrepreneurs for discussion, debate and mentoring. The focus is on supporting businesses in the process of scaling-up.

Sherry Coutu CBE, serial entrepreneur, angel investor and a founder of SVC2UK, said, “There has never been a better time to support the scale up of UK companies. SVC2UK provides a unique blend of mentoring, inspiration and high-quality networking to help CEOs scale up fast. “
