Since its inception a decade ago, the Leicester Business Festival (LBF) has been consistently supported by key partners like East Midlands Chamber, De Montfort University, and the University of Leicester.

Each year, the festival has showcased innovations ranging from driverless pods to flying taxis, creating connections and boosting the regional economy. In 2023 alone, the festival raised over £20,000 for Leicester Hospitals Charity.


Andy Reed OBE, Chair of the Leicester & Leicestershire Business Board, added: "The purpose of the Business Board is to work with our local authorities to help them shape an economy which is productive, innovative, sustainable, and inclusive.


“LBF supports that goal by developing new ideas and partnerships across the business community.


“Looking at the schedule for 2024, it’s great to see Business Board member organisations leading sessions and sharing their networks and knowledge to really push forward economic growth for all.”
