Monique van Asperen

As Knowledge Transfer Manager within the Investor Ecosystem team, I engage international investors and showcase opportunities to invest in the UK’s innovation-led businesses. I help overseas investors access insights, networks, and a pipeline of ambitious SMEs shaping the future economy.

I bring over a decade of experience in international trade and investment promotion for the Dutch government and have held senior roles at major global events including Expo 2020 Dubai and COP28. My background in sustainable finance, stakeholder engagement andstrategic project management help me support investors in navigating the UK innovation ecosystem and identifying opportunities that align with their ambitions.
