SCOTLAND’S most forward-thinking business week, designed for local ambition and global opportunities returns for its 17th year. Fife Business Week 2025 saw over 800 business attendees at 18 events with over 60 expert speakers and panellists, creating a valuable experience for Fife businesses.
Fife Business Week will return in 2026 for its 17th year from 2nd to 6th November, bringing together businesses, industry leaders and partners for a week of insight, collaboration and opportunity under the new strapline “Fife - Ready for Growth: Supporting businesses to innovate, invest and grow.”
Building on the success of previous years, the 2026 programme will feature a strong mix of flagship events and partner-led activity designed to help businesses navigate change, embrace innovation and unlock new growth opportunities.
Key events will include the popular Meet the Buyer, Fife Energy Forum, Fife Housebuilders Forum and Automate to Accelerate, alongside Building Tomorrow's Workforce, a collaborative event delivered with Fife College and Employability partners, highlighting Fife's joined-up approach to apprenticeships, skills development and workforce growth. The programme will also feature a practical AI workshop, delivered in partnership with SMAS, showcasing how established businesses are already using AI to drive efficiencies and growth through real-world case studies and business experiences.
Other key events include a Strategic Reset for Fife’s Independent Businesses, designed to help town centre businesses stay visible, attract customers, and plan for growth and a very creative and inspiring Visual Merchandising Workshop. There will also be a great opportunity to find out How to sell at Trade Shows and Exhibitions.
Fife Business Week 2026 will continue to combine InvestFife and Business Gateway Fife-led activity with a broader programme of partner events, making it easier for businesses to access expert advice, valuable networks and practical support. Feedback from last year has helped shape the programme, with a focus on high-quality speakers, meaningful networking, strategic insights and a clear, well-coordinated timetable.
