How to Attract Better Financing through Resilience?

07 Oct 2026
Harvey Goodwin Suite
Track 3: Adaptation, Governance and Regulatory
Whether you are seeking to attract funding from public or private bodies, the challenge remains the same. Investors do not want to risk their money on organisations that don’t take resilience and continuity seriously. The net result of this is either failure to attract investment, or unfavourable repayment terms. Good risk management and resilience provides reassurance to investors that you take the protection of your operations, supply chain,  intellectual property and reputation seriously. This session looks specifically at what investors are interested in, and more importantly, how to demonstrate to them that the risk management programmes you have in place are going to meet their quality standards.
