A new regular meet-up for Oxfordshire businesses who want to connect, collaborate and exchange ideas.

OxLEP Business engages with thousands of business owners and leaders every year providing knowledge, advice and other business development support. But until now there hasn’t been an easy way to help these businesses to network. Problem solved…

The OxBOoSt network will meet on the first Tuesday of every month from 4pm to 5pm and is open to all Oxfordshire based businesses to join (and its free!).

Each meeting will include up to 5 pre-arranged slots for businesses to share their story or pitch for collaboration and a forward look of business support from OxLEP. And of course there will be plenty of time for networking.

You can request one of the business story slots on the booking form.

This meeting will be in person at the BIPC in Oxford.

Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA) scheme

MFA allows a beneficiary to receive up to £315,000 of Subsidy over a three-fiscal year period (i.e. the current and previous two fiscal years). The value of MFA given is the gross cash amount or the gross cash equivalent of the subsidy. The MFA value of this webinar is £361.70.
