Business in the Community (BITC)

The Event
Join BITC for a cross-sector, thought-provoking networking event focused on the power of local: living local, working local, hiring local and – most importantly – buying local.
This is a unique opportunity to discuss what a place-based approach means for the West Midlands. The event invites businesses of all sizes to join the debate on what a truly local economy requires to enable smaller enterprises, social enterprises and large businesses to collaborate more effectively and enable better community cohesion.
With insights from industry experts and policymakers, the event aspires to create future business connections, explore sustainable approaches, and find practical solutions to enable better collaboration across all business sectors.
The event will finish with a talking tour of the Ryton Campus, where SWM members Coventry University is conducting research into sustainable food systems through public food procurement.
