A regional conference organised by South East Spirit of Enterprise is taking place next week in Kilkenny and will entice entrepreneurs from all over the south-east.
The conference is the key event within the region’s Enterprise Week which runs from Monday October 13 to Friday October 17 inclusive.
With events aimed at entrepreneurs, SMEs and start ups, this conference will showcase supports and opportunities available in the south-east.
Enterprise Week is the brainchild of the Spirit of Enterprise Forum. The South East Spirit of Enterprise Forum ethos is to support the development of the existing small and medium sized enterprise based in the region, the creation of new companies and jobs and the promotion of innovation and an entrepreneurial culture.
The operational committee comprises representatives from Enterprise Ireland, the City and County Enterprise Boards in the region, the South East BIC, Chambers, the local authorities, the South East Regional Authority and the third level institutions.
The key event is the Regional Conference whose theme is ‘Make Business Happen’. The conference features regional entrepreneurs such as Liam Griffin of Griffin Hotel Group and Ivan Yates, former Minister, TD, and chairman of Celtic Bookmakers. In conjunction with the conference, an exhibition of national, regional and local supports to business will be held. Tickets are free but need to be booked online on www.spiritofenterprise.ie or by emailing caitriona.keenan@enterprise-ireland.com.
