Breaking barriers to business
Chamber Lunch with a difference… with innovation!
Join the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce and the newly appointed Innovate Guernsey Board for an interactive session designed to identify and tackle the barriers to doing business in Guernsey — and work together on finding practical solutions.
This isn’t just another panel discussion. We know the local business community has the skills, experience, and ideas needed to shape a stronger, more competitive future — and this event is about making the most of that collective expertise.
What to expect: (not the normal Chamber lunch format!)
- Introduction from the Board: Hear from Chair Justin Bellinger and fellow board members about their vision for innovation in Guernsey and how their work will feed into the wider Innovation Plan.
- Table Sessions: Rotate between facilitated discussions, led by Chamber and Innovate Guernsey Board members, to explore key barriers to doing business and potential solutions.
- Real Collaboration: Share your insights, hear different perspectives, and contribute directly to shaping future priorities for Guernsey’s business and innovation landscape.
- Networking and Lunch: Connect with peers from across all sectors in a relaxed setting — there’ll be plenty of time to meet new people and continue the conversation informally.
Whether you’re in tech, finance, education, professional services, creative industries, or the third sector, a start up or established business, your input matters. If you want to help remove the roadblocks to growth and make Guernsey a place where business thrives, this event is for you.
