Wildanet is delighted and very proud to be supporting Cornwall Chamber of Commerce and the Cornwall Business Fair.

It’s an event which has become a must-fixture in Cornwall’s business diary, showcasing the best of what Cornwall has to offer and supporting businesses to collaborate, inspire and connect with each other. There is an immense amount of exciting activity taking place in Cornwall, a wealth of talented people, a burgeoning spirit of entrepreneurship and a level of creativity which is a match for anywhere in the UK.

Cornwall Business Fair reflects and celebrates Cornwall’s successes and, together with the ongoing work of the Chamber and its partners, brings a focus to how we tap into new ideas and markets, deploy new technology and build the creative and carbon-neutral economy we all want for Cornwall’s future.

Our mission at Wildanet, and why as a local company we are so pleased to be sponsoring this event, is to support businesses and communities right across Cornwall with the high speed, reliable broadband they need to maximise these opportunities, achieve their potential and compete on a national and international stage.

We all know there are areas of Cornwall which have good digital connectivity but there are also large parts of the county, particularly in rural areas, which do not. That’s simply not acceptable and it is a barrier to social inclusion and business growth.

It is the reason Wildanet was formed as a Cornwall-based Alternative Network (Alt-Net) and why our ethos is that no-one should be forgotten or left behind by the digital revolution because of where they live or the standard of service they receive.

Wildanet is already investing £50 million in rolling out our own gigabit-capable fibre and wireless network in towns and villages across Cornwall. And we are committed to working with local and central government, businesses and communities to go much further in addressing the digital divide in Cornwall and the South West.

We look forward to seeing you all at the Cornwall Business Fair and to working with you in the coming years to help you, your businesses and Cornwall reach new heights.
