Next spring's forum is hosted by Business Isle of Man, building on the Island’s growing reputation as a hub for innovation, sustainability, and cross-border collaboration.
The Interceltic Business Forum is coming to the Isle of Man! After successful editions in Lorient, Cardiff, Galway and Cornwall, this unique event for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators from across the Celtic nations will take place in Douglas, Isle of Man, on Thursday 16 April 2026.
Next spring's forum is hosted by Business Isle of Man, building on the Island’s growing reputation as a hub for innovation, sustainability, and cross-border collaboration. The event will bring together off-Island business leaders, alongside local delegates, for a day of discussion, networking, and partnership-building.
The Isle of Man is not only renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich Celtic heritage, but also for its forward-thinking approach to business. As the first whole nation UNESCO Biosphere, the Island is an ideal test bed for new ideas and technologies, making it the perfect location to host this year’s forum.
The forum will feature:
“We’re incredibly excited to bring the Interceltic Business Forum to the Isle of Man for the first time—not only to build deeper connections with another Celtic region, but to showcase the impressive innovation and momentum emerging from the island.” - Charles Kergaravat, Founder, Interceltic Business Forum
