Grow Summit 2025 Highlights: Long Version

Описание: Grow Summit 2025: Three Days of Ideas, Impact and Inspiration 💙

Grow Summit 2025 has officially come to a close, and what an extraordinary three days it has been.

With 60 world-leading speakers and 500 attendees, we brought together the brightest founders, investors, technologists, policy leaders and innovators to explore what it truly takes to grow with purpose. From Fairmont Windsor Park to Royal Academy of Arts and House of Commons, the conversations were bold, ambitious and deeply human.

Across the Summit, one theme rang clear: innovation is a team sport and our community has never been stronger.

📍 A Retreat Built for Growth
At Fairmont Windsor Park, scaleup founders took a step back from the everyday to connect, reset and reflect. Through workshops, wellness activities, fireside conversations and high-impact networking, leaders shared lessons on scaling with agility, building resilient teams, and staying true to purpose.

Highlights included:
💡 Sherry Coutu CBE on why every breakthrough begins with collaboration.
💡 Darina Garland, Ooni, on keeping the best of your start-up mindset while evolving beyond what limits growth.
💡 Insights from Olympian Anna Hopkin MBE on motivation, mindset and enjoying the journey.

📍 Future Horizons: A look ahead
At the Royal Academy of Arts, the summit shifted into the future - exploring AI, climate tech, digital ethics, and the technologies reshaping society.

The room was captivated by:
💡 Sir Tim Berners-Lee, calling for a more trusted, human-centred internet.
💡 Lord Holmes MBE, championing debate, inclusion and accessible innovation.
💡 Dex Hunter-Torricke reminding us that when managed well, technology is an engine of human progress.

📍 What we learned?
Across the Summit, our speakers and community left us with powerful lessons:
✨ Growth requires agility, courage and the willingness to evolve.
✨ Leadership matters especially at critical inflection points.
✨ Your narrative is one of your greatest assets.
✨ Innovation thrives in connection, collaboration and shared purpose.
✨ Trust, safety and ethics aren’t barriers to progress - they unlock it.

A huge thank you to every founder, speaker, partner and collaborator who made Grow Summit 2025 exceptional - including Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Morgan Stanley, and the Fidelity Centre for Applied Technology.

Until next year - let’s keep building boldly, leading with purpose, and shaping the future of innovation together. 🚀💙
