Join us as we showcase the creativity, innovation and impact of 24 Black-led businesses that have spent the past year developing their ventures through the programme. Guests will explore live demonstrations, creative activations, screenings, games, workshops and immersive experiences designed and delivered by the cohort themselves in Somerset House Exchange.

Whether you're looking to connect with entrepreneurs, explore potential collaborations, or simply be inspired by the talent within the Somerset House community, this event offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with the businesses shaping the future of their industries.

The evening will also include a complimentary food and drinks reception and opportunities to network with founders, alumni, industry professionals, partners and members of Somerset House's wider creative community.

Come and celebrate a year of growth, innovation and entrepreneurship with the Black Business Residency Cohort 6. We look forward to welcoming you.
