'Wolverhampton Business Week has it all on offer': Annual event is back for 2026

Wolverhampton Business Week is returning later this month - with a series of events focused on skills, employment, innovation, business support, investment and growth.

The event will run from September 21 to 25 and will bring together businesses, education providers, community organisations and public and private sector partners - offering opportunities to make new connections, gain practical advice, explore new ideas and hear from experts across a range of sectors.

Delivered by organisations from across the city, the week will feature almost 20 events covering everything from AI and manufacturing to networking, recruitment and business leadership.

The flagship Annual Business Breakfast will take place on Friday, September 25 at Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, hosted by TV presenter and proud Wulfrunian Suzi Perry and sponsored by Turner & Townsend, Arcadis and Wavensmere Homes.

The breakfast event will bring together business leaders, investors, education providers and public sector partners to discuss how collaboration, investment and opportunity are shaping the future of Wolverhampton.

The Mayor of the West Midlands, Richard Parker, will give a keynote speech at the event which will also feature a panel discussion and contributions from key city leaders, developers and investors exploring the power of partnerships and the role they play in creating jobs, developing skills, attracting investment and supporting growth across the city.

Councillor Stephen Simkins, Wolverhampton Council leader, said: “Whether you're looking to make new connections, discover support, gain fresh ideas or hear from industry experts – Wolverhampton Business Week has it all on offer.

“Wolverhampton is investing in its people and its future, and Business Week is a powerful platform to showcase how we’re working with partners to create opportunities.

“I encourage anyone invested in the city’s success to join us and be part of the conversation.”
