BURY-based inventors, business start-ups and companies looking for funding can showcase their ideas and maybe win £30,000 worth of products and services.

They can make a "pitch" to an audience of advisers and potential business partners at the B2B North West event, incorporating the BEX conference, on November 22 and 23 at G-MEX.

Local entrepreneurs should initially call The Ideas Factory Hotline on (0161) 244 5825 or email lawrence@outthereevents.com for an application form which must be returned by Monday.

Later, up to 16 successful individuals or companies will be selected to give a five-minute briefing to an audience of potential investors and advisers in a bid to take the £30,000 prize.
