The West Yorkshire Innovation Network is holding the fourth Innovation Festival on 3-7 March 2025. The West Yorkshire Innovation Festival brings together businesses, entrepreneurs, academics and support providers who are making amazing things happen in West Yorkshire.
The Festival celebrates the innovations that are being made today, while inspiring the next wave of innovations for tomorrow. We believe that innovation can come from anywhere – whether or not you already call yourself an innovator. We want to bring everyone into the innovation conversation in West Yorkshire and show you how to turn your big ideas into reality.
The Festival is presented by the West Yorkshire Innovation Network.
The Network brings together innovation providers serving West Yorkshire to create a culture of innovation across the region. It shares best practice and evidence, routes to access and engagement information to offer the best possible support to innovators. It anticipates future opportunities and challenges for innovators, advocates for innovators with local and national government and fosters a culture of innovation through peer-to-peer networking and evangelism. The Network’s ultimate goal is an interconnected innovation ecosystem where entrepreneurs and SMEs can easily find the innovation partners, opportunities, funding and resources they need to make their ideas a reality.
