Rotherham European Business Festival

There’s a region in Northern England, which offers a lot to new investors that want to expand or relocate their businesses there. Where institutions provide strong support, road and rail links with all of the corners of the country are excellent and three international airports in the area offer connections to over 40 cities in Europe. This thriving region is Yorkshire.

Now Yorkshire is also a home to circa 55 thousands of Polish immigrants: many of them are skilled and well educated, some of them run successfully their businesses contributing taxes and creating new job positions. Rotherham European Business Festival is an occasion to show to potential investors or people thinking about setting business the benefits of locating them here. 

According to Martin Oxley, Director of UKTI in Warsaw, there’s over 40 thousands of businesses run by Polish in the UK. This huge number may even grow – we, Yorkshire Tourist Organization, still receive inquiries from people that would like to work on their own. Rotherham European Business Festival is to answer their question and help them make the first step. It is also to show, that further education which allows them being more competitive on the job market is affordable. Last but not least, we work with organizations from Central & Eastern Europe that look for business partners in England. Why don’t connect them with those from Yorkshire?

About the programme

’New Directions’ Exhibition on 1st day is dedicated to all that look for grants, business loans, business support, business services and professional courses offer. 

The second day – conferences day – will give the answer, why is it worth to be a volunteer, what are the benefits of apprenticeships for employees and employers or what are the reasons people set up social enterprise (and why could it be good for you).
