The Good Business Festival is the world’s largest responsible business platform, a direct evolution of the International Festival for Business. Based in the vibrant city of Liverpool, this multi-day event is designed to challenge the status quo and explore how businesses of all sizes can achieve profitability through purpose-led strategies. Unlike traditional corporate conferences, this festival blends high-level economic discourse with arts, culture, and social innovation, reflecting Liverpool’s unique spirit of creativity and resilience.
The 2026 edition focuses on "Future-Proofing through Sustainability," addressing the critical global shifts in climate policy, social equity, and technological ethics. The festival provides a massive stage for global thought leaders, CEOs, and grassroots entrepreneurs to collaborate on solutions for the world’s most pressing challenges. Attendees can expect a diverse program featuring "The Greater Good" showcase—a series of deep-dive sessions across different city boroughs—alongside mainstage keynote addresses, interactive workshops, and pitch competitions.
One of the core components of the festival is its commitment to international trade. By hosting delegates from over 100 countries, the event serves as a primary gateway for UK businesses to connect with global markets. The networking zones are high-energy hubs where SMEs can meet potential investors, venture capitalists, and policy makers. With a track record of generating hundreds of millions of pounds in investment for participating firms, the festival is not just a place for conversation, but a catalyst for tangible economic growth.
Sustainability is woven into the fabric of the event itself. From zero-waste catering to digital-first networking tools, the festival practices what it preaches. Whether you are a tech startup looking for ethical scaling advice or a multinational corporation seeking to refine your ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, The Good Business Festival offers the insights and connections necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing global economy.
