About BGBIC

Who We Are

Bedfordshire Global Business & Investment Connect (BGBIC) is an initiative founded and operated by EAN Consultants Limited, a UK-registered company.

BGBIC was established to create a dedicated business and investment platform connecting Bedfordshire businesses with UK and international opportunities.

The platform brings together businesses, investors, financial institutions, professional organisations, public-sector and economic-development stakeholders, technology and innovation organisations, and international business networks to create commercially meaningful connections.

BGBIC focuses on five core areas:

• People
• Partnerships
• Investment
• Opportunities
• Growth

Our ambition extends beyond a single event. BGBIC is being developed as an ongoing platform supporting business connectivity, investment, access to finance, strategic partnerships, market access and international commercial relationships.

Why EAN Consultants Created BGBIC

EAN Consultants Limited works across consultancy, programme and project delivery, digital transformation, business support and recruitment.

Through its work and wider business relationships, EAN identified an opportunity to create a platform that could connect businesses beyond individual consultancy engagements, particularly by bringing together enterprise, investment, professional expertise, institutional relationships and international markets.

BGBIC was therefore established by EAN Consultants Limited as a dedicated platform through which these wider connections can be developed.

The inaugural BGBIC 2026 event in Bedford represents the first major activation of this platform, with the longer-term ambition of developing an ecosystem of UK and international business relationships beyond the November event.
