The International Business Festival (IBF) is the world’s biggest business festival. Hosted every two years in its home city of Liverpool, the festival captures the dynamism and diversity of the global marketplace. The goal is to give businesses the space, support, and expertise they need to make connections, do deals and realise their potential.

In 2016 the festival welcomed over 25,000 attendees from across the UK and around the world, putting on a schedule of inspiring events and facilitating an estimated £250 million worth of business deals.

Held across three weeks in June 2018, the third edition of the International Business Festival will have a programme focussed across nine key industry sectors – from manufacturing to health & life sciences to sustainable energy.

The Festival is driven by a belief that, at its best, business is a force for positive change – propelling economic growth, providing opportunities for development and encouraging openness and cooperation. The Festival is a celebration of this belief.

The UK-ASEAN Business Council is also supporting delegations from ASEAN interested in coming to the Festival either to exhibit or for meeting with companies from the UK and around the world. If you are interested in coming to the UK for this fantastic event, please contact info@ukabc.org.uk.
