Derbyshire Festival of Business 22/23

Derbyshire Festival of Business 22/23 Launch

About the festival

The Derbyshire Business Festival offers a wide range of events, and takes place both online and at venues across Derbyshire.

The festival, which secured funding support from Vision Derbyshire, helps to connect local organisations whilst showcasing Derbyshire’s extensive business capability to future clients, customers, and investors. There is a wide range of free workshops, masterclasses and networking activities offered throughout the festival, helping to support businesses within the region.

There is the opportunity to participate in the Derbyshire Business and Enterprise Awards ceremony and three business expositions hosted in Buxton, Chesterfield and Derby.

The University of Derby and the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce coordinate the schedule of activities in collaboration with local businesses. The aim is to offer help and support, educate, share information and knowledge, whilst creating forums for networking, engagement and business growth.
