Island to Host Celtic Business Forum

The island will host business leaders, innovators and policymakers from across the Celtic nations next month.

It will be the first time the Spring Interceltic Business Forum has been held here.

Bringing together representatives from the Isle of Man, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany and Galicia, the Forum is a conference dedicated to strengthening economic connections between Celtic regions.

Hosted by Business Isle of Man, following a sell-out of initial tickets, the event has moved to the Royal Albert Hall at the Villa.

The event will feature a range of speakers, including representatives from the Scottish Business Network, Cornwall Council, Tramshed Tech, the Irish Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and Lloyds Bank International.

The programme will focus on AI, regenerative tourism, maritime, sustainable finance, advanced manufacturing, and diaspora engagement.

Tim Johnston MHK, Minister for Enterprise, commented: “The Interceltic Business Forum is an important opportunity to bring together business and policy leaders from across the Celtic nations.

“Hosting the Spring Forum underlines the Isle of Man’s role as a connected and collaborative place to do business, as well as a dynamic environment that encourages innovation, ideas and creativity.”
