Here is what delegates said about the 2008 Entrepreneurs’ Summit:

“This was an excellent event, professionally organised with a fantastic list of speakers. I really enjoyed it" James Caan

“Entrepreneurial buzz was infectious”
Dr Jan Hruska Co-founder, Sophos

“Quite simply, the best conference I’ve been to.”
Dan McGuire founder Broadbean Technology

“It was good to participate again in Real Business’s second Entrepreneur Forum. Sir Robin emphasized the importance of the UK continuing to excel at advanced manufacturing, particularly in transferring new technology into successful production globally. With increased pressure on our planet’s scarce resources, final assembly of finished goods close to the end customer will become a new trend especially where products require a high degree of customization to satisfy end customer needs. It would be foolish to consider that a modern thriving economy could survive with a service only culture.”
Sir Robin Saxby technology entrepreneur & ex founding chief executive officer & chairman, ARM Holdings
