PITCHING YORKSHIRE
TO THE WORLD
The Yorkshire Society has a vision in line with one of our region’s most pressing issues – how to ensure our future economic success.
We believe Yorkshire – as a whole – needs a showcase and a stage on which to present its collective self and all its combined capabilities, nationally and internationally. With everyone benefiting from a one-Yorkshire brand.
With the help of University of Hull, The Yorkshire Society conducted a major survey which confirmed the economic strength and hidden potential of the Yorkshire ‘brand’. A copy of the survey report is available on request.
2024/5 IS THE AIM
Imagine this…
Yorkshire, with all its economic potential, stepping into the limelight and showing the world what it has to offer by bringing together a huge selection of the talent. businesses and organisations, public and private, to demosntrate the depth and strength of the Yorkshire economy and why the world should do business with us.
And then imagine asking the world to take a fresh look at Yorkshire with an open invitation to come here and see for themselves what Yorkshire has to offer. We do.
And although this Expo will be open to any Yorkshire business, corporate members of the Society will be given priority of course.

THE VISION
In collaboration with public and private sector partners, we are planning a major business event at which Yorkshire can show the country and the world what Yorkshire businesses have to offer.
This will be a forward-looking EXPO, ‘plus’. The plus being the additional pro-active support to help bring buyers and sellers together and the all important Yorkshireness that will convey the unique brand qualities of God’s own Country.
It will be a major business event comprising exhibitions, seminars, conferences, presentations and more, for all sectors and industries and of a size and scale worthy of the nation within a nation it represents. But more than that, it will project all that is positive about the Yorkshire brand and how we want the world to now see our economic region.
As such, it will focus on opportunity and optimism in what will inevitably be, post-Brexit and post-Covid, a very different world of work and trade.
And it will give all businesses in Yorkshire (and those outside with an interest in Yorkshire) a chance to promote themselves locally, nationally and internationally.
