The International Festival for Business 2014 accelerated global business growth for creative and digital enterprises by connecting them with the smartest entrepreneurial minds and best business opportunities in the world.

IFB2014 featured hundreds of world-class events from 05 June to 24 July 2014 in Liverpool, attracting visitors from across the globe, and bringing £100 million worth of investment into the UK economy.
