Opening the Show & Launching Global Devon (DBS 2026)

Join us live from Plymouth Life Centre as we kick off the Devon Business Show 2026!

We'll be joined by Helen Wylde-Archibald from Devon Chamber of Commerce to welcome everyone to this year's event, take a look at what's happening across Devon's business community, and introduce some of the conversations we'll be having throughout the day.

We'll also be marking the launch of Global Devon, putting the spotlight on international connections, new markets and opportunities for businesses across the county to broaden their horizons.

Whether you're joining us at the show or following along online, it's a great way to get the day underway.
