Running from October 5th to 9th across venues throughout Fingal, the Fingal Enterprise Week 2015 promises a programme of events designed to boost business opportunities and deliver opportunities for SMEs and aspiring entrepreneurs to learn from industry experts.
An initiative of the Fingal Local Enterprise Office and supported by Vodafone and Bank of Ireland, over 1,500 local businesses and start-ups will benefit from 30 major business events, workshops, networking opportunities and mentoring clinics. Activities to be held during Fingal Enterprise Week include some great success stories sharing their experience with the next generation of Irish Businesses.
Some of the key highlights include:
• Fingal Start-Up Day will attract hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs for an intensive full day “Business Start-Up” bootcamp.
• Dublin Senior Footballer Bernard Brogan leads a stellar team of Irish sports stars in the networking highlight “Fit for Business”. The sports stars are not only successful in their field of sport but all are owner-managers of SMEs and will explain how they manage their physical and mental fitness to ensure success in both sport and business.
• A new business network for female entrepreneurs will be launched – “Fingal Enterprising Women”
• Several networking events and seminars featuring key industry experts that will address topics such as: “Caring for Your Customers”, “Learning from Experience”, “Company Law”, Costing and Pricing”, “Supercharge Your Sales”, “Financing Your Start-up” and many more.
As well as the many hundreds of businesses to benefit from the week, 250 of Fingal’s youngest budding entrepreneurs from schools throughout the region will also have an opportunity to learn from real-life stories of enterprise at a major event hosted in the Riasc Centre in Swords on the last day of the week-long schedule, hosted by 2FM’s Rick O’Shea.
