Kildare businesses looking forward to 20 local enterprise events
20 events announced for Kildare's Local Enterprise Week, with excitement beginning to build
Small businesses and budding entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to sample 20 events aimed at helping them to start or grow their business as part of this year’s Local Enterprise Week in Kildare.
While there are hundreds of events taking place nationally during the week, including two National Spotlight events that are available for free online, there are plenty of events in Kildare open to all.
These events will focus on lean leadership, sustainability and recognising the achievements of Kildare-based businesses in the annual Pride of Premises Awards.
“Local Enterprise Week is a fantastic marker in the road for any business,” said head of enterprise and economic development Jacqui McNabb.
“It’s an opportunity to take stock of where you are, see where you can grow, where you can innovate or maybe become more sustainable and see what resources are available on your doorstep. There is something for everyone and those who maybe always had that ambition to start on their own, or a great idea, this is the week to see how to get started and make it happen.”
Join the Lean Leadership workshop on Tuesday, March 5, led by Martin Tierney of Seating Matters, a Lean Business Ireland and Red Dot Design award winner. Following participation in this Lean Leadership event, it is our objective to assist each participating company on their lean journey and in the implementation of the tools, techniques and employee engagement demonstrated by Martin.
We are hosting an audience with Liz Bonnin in The Riverbank, Newbridge on Thursday, March 7. The 'sustainability imperative for business success' workshop will look at how sustainability is becoming a bigger and bigger factor in business survival and success.
Headlined by world renowned Natural History and Environmental broadcaster, Liz Bonnin, it will show how small changes in your business can make a big impact and most importantly how you can start. We’ll also detail how to access government supports and grants on your sustainability journey.
All events are open to all from budding entrepreneurs to established businesses and gives them the opportunity to get expert advice on key areas of business from financial skills, raising funds, exporting and boosting your business online to future trends such as sustainability and digitalisation.
