What to expect

The festival’s aim is to support Derbyshire’s business community to bounce-back from the challenges caused by the pandemic. In order to achieve this, the festival will:

  1. Identify existing and future talent
  2. Explore key business-related issues
  3. Provide opportunities for collaboration and networking
  4. Showcase Derbyshire’s businesses to existing and future clients/customers/investors

The festival is an opportunity to celebrate the resilience of the business community over the past two years, to showcase best practice and innovation, and promote the county as a great place to launch and grow a successful business.
