Board members from the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce have been appointed to sit within government's executive agencies.
The Department of Enterprise has created four - Finance Isle of Man, Digital Isle of Man, Business Isle of Man and Visit Isle of Man.
The Chamber says its position reflects its status as the 'voice' of the Island's business community.
Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly has described it as the 'beginning of our journey as a dynamic private/public partnership'.
