One of the most prominent events set to return is the Doncaster Economic Forum on February 16.

The venue is yet to be confirmed but representatives from businesses from across the Sheffield City Region.

Doncaster Business Month will also be used to promote major business and infrastructure projects, which are set to launch in the town over the coming weeks.

These include the opening of the transformational £58m Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme link road from Junction 3 of the M18 to Rossington and Robin Hood Airport. This development will bring forward the creation of 1,200 homes at the former Rossington Colliery site and 5,500 jobs at the newly created iPort.
