A breakthrough launch. An even bigger year ahead.
The 2025 Festival of Entrepreneurs brought together thousands of ambitious founders, investors and partners for two days of practical insight, serious conversations and genuine commercial opportunity.
From standing-room keynote sessions to highly engaged Funding and Tech stages, the launch event proved one thing very clearly:
The UK’s entrepreneurial community wants a place to learn from the best, meet the right people and move faster.
In 2026 we scale up with intention:
5,000+ visitors
200 speakers
150 exhibitors
Four focused stages: Funding • Tech & AI • People & Leadership • Keynote Programme
We are now inviting you to be part of the next chapter.
