The EnterpriseSTART Programmes, which help budding entrepreneurs understand and evaluate the intricacies of the entrepreneurial process, takes place across the board this November.
The EnterpriseStart Programme will take place across the country in Dublin, Limerick, Dundalk, Leterkenny and more locations and will help potential entrepreneurs examine all aspects of what is involved in setting up a business and help them determine if entrepreneurship is the right course for them.
The programme will feature local businesses on seperate dates with words and advice on how to get started up in your own venture.
Conor Fahy, Enterprise Ireland regional director in the north west region, commented on how he believes developing the entrepreneurial culture regionally and driving the growth of export focused innovation based start-ups is of utmost importance.
“The potential for new businesses continues to be strong and starting and growing successful enterprises is fundamental to achieving regional economic growth. For Enterprise Ireland, growing the number of high potential start-up companies is a priority and we are proactively seeking out and supporting entrepreneurs interested in starting high growth export-oriented businesses,” explained Fahy.
