Join us for a series of exciting events this September
We’re thrilled to announce the Invest Somerset Showcase 2025, a series of events designed to highlight Somerset as a dynamic and thriving hub for business and investment.
Taking place over 3 weeks in September, this showcase aims to promote key growth sectors, business support and innovation activities, economic opportunities and investment sites, as well helping to implement our new Economic Development Strategy for Somerset.
Hosted in partnership with South West Manufacturing Advisory Service (SWMAS), Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce and other partners across Somerset, our goal is to support the diverse range of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) within the county through business networking, fostering Business-to-Business relationships, and gathering valuable input for successful implementation of the new strategy.
