North Yorkshire Council will run its first Business Week from 16 to 20 June. The week aims to help local enterprises build capability in innovation, finance, and growth strategy.
The council has confirmed a programme of both in-person and online events designed for SMEs, startups, and established firms across the region. Sessions will include sector-specific panels, skill-building workshops, and advisory clinics delivered in partnership with regional support organisations.
The opening event, which will take place at Harrogate Convention Centre on 16 June, will feature networking sessions, a business support expo, and panels focused on driving innovation across industries.
A separate event on 19 June in Scarborough will address commercial opportunities in maritime and renewable energy. Discussions will cover skills, supply chain development, and crossover with tourism.
Workshops throughout the week will offer practical marketing, finance, and growth planning content. The council’s Business North Yorkshire advisors and other regional business specialists will also host drop-in sessions for tailored guidance.
The initiative is part of the council’s broader effort to support economic development through cross-sector collaboration and access to regional resources.
