Here to inspire

The West Yorkshire Innovation Festival returns 13-17 November 2023, to showcase and celebrate innovation across our region  

From the Industrial Revolution onwards, West Yorkshire has been a hotbed of innovation, where ground-breaking discoveries and transformative practices go hand in hand to power our economic success and prosperity.  

 

Returning for its third year, the West Yorkshire Innovation Festival brings together businesses, entrepreneurs of all ages and backgrounds, and experts to share resources and support, and showcase the innovation happening across the region.  

 

Created by the West Yorkshire Innovation Network and coordinated by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, the festival aims to encourage ideas and collaboration to create new opportunities, positive change and foster a culture of innovation to help supercharge our businesses.
