The Devon and Cornwall Business Council (DCBC), is a private sector led, sub regional economic partnership. Over 70 constituent national, regional and local private and public sector organisations are represented at quarterly meetings designed to enhance the competitiveness of the region and facilitate economic development. These organisations represent some 15,000 businesses- from micro to large enterprises. Individuals also attend DCBC meetings with relevant interests who can contribute to the remit of the organisation.

As the most powerful private sector voice for Devon and Cornwall, DCBC is often the first point of contact for many regional journalists and programme makers.

Although DCBC is not a membership organisation it is funded by sponsorship from key organisations in the region.
