Dell, Metro Bank, BT, AXA, Love Finance, Intel, Sage and Sky AdSmart Join SME XPO to champion UK scale-ups
SME XPO, the UK’s leading event dedicated to the scale-up business community, is proud to announce an expanded roster of headline sponsors and media partners for its 2025 show.
Returning for the third consecutive year, Dell Technologies continues its commitment to innovation in the SME sector. Joining as new sponsors are Metro Bank, BT, AXA, Intel, Love Finance, and Sage, bringing broad cross-sector support to the UK’s scale-up community.
SME XPO 2025 has secured an exclusive partnership with Sky Media, the advertising arm of Sky to help support and amplify the showcase conference. The partnership will launch with a targeted TV campaign using Sky’s AdSmart, designed to elevate awareness of the show and drive response among UK scale-ups and entrepreneurs.
The show will be further promoted with Out-of-home across Greater London. Sky Media will also be hosting advertising workshops on both days of the event to bring to life how SMEs can tap targeted TV and addressable advertising to drive standout and growth.
Now in its fourth year, the exhibition brings together a diverse range of businesses, investor community including early stage/ angel investors and VCs, as well as resources to foster growth, innovation, and collaboration.
“The scale-up community accounts for around half of turnover in the UK private sector but faces persistent barriers to growth — from funding gaps to talent shortages,” said Sam North, Founder of SME XPO.
“We’re proud to welcome such a prestigious group of sponsors and partners this year, all united in their support of UK entrepreneurship. Together, we’re bringing together the very best in UK business expertise, investors, speakers and exhibitors to support our invaluable scale-up community.”
With a sharp focus on scale-up leaders and founders, SME XPO 2025 will offer a rich experience for attendees. This year’s event includes 60+ esteemed speakers, including Keynote Speakers Piers Linney, Entrepreneur & Former Dragons’ Den Investor, Theo Paphitis, Retail Magnate & Business Champion, Dr. Alka Patel, Longevity & Wellbeing Authority and Jack Smith, CEO of Love Finance.
