Fife Business Week returns to secure opportunities for local firms

Fife Business Week will return next month for its 14th year, with the aim of showcasing support to local organisations.

Once more the event will look to support local businesses in what has been another challenging year.

The week, delivered by InvestFife, will give businesses advice on how to sustain and secure opportunities and remain resilient when faced with hardship.

A programme of about 30 events will take place face to face and online throughout the week, which runs from November 6 to November 10.

The ever-popular Meet the Buyer event will return once more at Carnegie Conference Centre in Dunfermline on November 9.

It helps Kingdom businesses find out what supply chain opportunities are available across a range of sectors.

Other Fife Business Week[1] events include an online session on ChatGPT and a discussion about hybrid working.

Meanwhile, there will be a dedicated construction zone for the first time. It will host several construction sector contractors to allow firms to learn about the latest opportunities.
