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.

 

Why the Isle of Man?

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.

 

What to Expect at the 2026 Forum

The forum will feature:

  • Keynote speakers and panels:     Insights from leading voices in maritime, sustainable finance,     regenerative tourism, manufacturing, and more.
  • Strategic networking: Opportunities     to connect with decision-makers, investors, and entrepreneurs from across the Celtic nations.
  • Evening reception & excursions:     Experience Manx culture and hospitality, with hosted activities for visiting delegates.

 “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
