The BBO was established by Bristol City Council as a platform to work informally with local stakeholders and represent them in Europe. Subsequently, a more formal partnership was set up between Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council, Business West and the Universities of Bristol, Bath and the West of England under the B&BBO umbrella. The B&BBO is currently taking a more focused approach to support the European and international activities of the University of Bristol and Business West from Brussels.

 

Becoming a partner is open to all organisations in Bristol, Bath and the wider West of England area.
