After 2.5 years we welcome the InterCeltic Business Forum to Isle of Man

When we first spoke with Charles Kergaravat two and a half years ago we set out to bring the hashtag Isle of Man into the InterCeltic Business Forum.

In 2023 our conversations got a few people interested.

In 2024 we managed to drum up enough interest and support from Business IOM to co-ordinate and achieve a Manx delegation at the main Summer Forum event.

In 2025 there was a full a blown Manx contingent in attendance at the Forum's Summer gathering at Lorient. Plus, for the first time, we had Manx start-ups eligible for the Start-up Awards. All produced loads of great, positive feedback.

But if you had told us that by 2026 the Isle of Man would be HOSTING the Spring Forum we definitely wouldn't have believed you. But, it's true!

This is HUGELY exciting news and testament to the commitment from a number of key people on the Island.

Let's get ready for the Isle of Man to formally step onto the InterCeltic Business stage 🇮🇲💪🏼🔥
