METRO Mayor Steve Rotheram is urging local start-ups to take advantage of an International Business Festival in June.
Held at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, the festival will take place from June 12 to 28 and will focus on life sciences, manufacturing and the creative sector.
The three week event will bring exhibitors and visitors from around the world to help grow local businesses and make global connections.
Mr Rotheram said: “The goal of delivering inclusive economic growth that works for everyone in the Liverpool City Region - and Greater Manchester - is only achievable through an entrepreneurial, innovative and successful private sector.
"This dynamic event gives businesses across the North West the opportunity to access the world on their doorstep.
"Since the Festival launched in 2014, it has delivered over half a billion pounds of additional trade and investment for the UK – the majority of that within the North West.
"I would urge any firm wanting to make the next step to take advantage of this incredible opportunity.”
