The inaugural Ignite Somerset Conference brought together more than 270 business leaders, investors, developers, entrepreneurs and key decision-makers for an inspiring day focused on igniting Somerset’s economic potential.
Delivered in partnership by Somerset Chamber of Commerce and Somerset Council, Ignite Somerset highlighted why the county is one of the UK’s most exciting places to live, work and invest and why now is the perfect time to be part of its future.
Featuring an impressive programme of expert speakers, thought provoking fireside chats, a live investment pitch showcase and a bustling exhibition space, the conference shone a spotlight on Somerset’s ‘Golden Opportunities’. Attendees gained practical advice, valuable insights and meaningful networking opportunities designed to turn ambition into action.
More than just a conference, Ignite Somerset was a catalyst for collaboration, bringing people together to build connections, spark partnerships and create opportunities that will drive long-term economic growth across the county.
Sponsored by NatWest and held at the iconic Haynes Motor Museum in Sparkford, the event received overwhelmingly positive feedback from delegates. Building on the success of its debut year, ambitions are already high for Ignite Somerset 2027!
