Hundreds of businesses from across the Tees area are expected at the Riverside Stadium when Tees Expo returns to Middlesbrough on Thursday 17 September.
The full-day business showcase runs from 10am to 3pm and is free to attend as a delegate. Organisers say the event, now in its 12th year, will bring together more than 70 exhibitors alongside speakers, local businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations offering support to firms in the region.
The focus is practical: meeting potential partners and suppliers, finding new opportunities and hearing ideas that businesses can take back into their own work.
Current exhibitors listed by the organisers include Teesside University, Thirteen Housing Group, Northumbrian Water, FW Capital and a range of local private-sector firms.
Free delegate tickets are available through the official Tees Expo website.
