Enterprise Ireland is hoping to run the “Enterprise Start programme” again this year starting on 29^th March. It is aimed at entrepreneurs that want to start a technology and / or export oriented business and it normally runs over 6 weekends, usually Friday evening and Saturday morning. The participants must develop a comprehensive business plan as part of the programme and certification is provided by the Institute of Learning and Management. Normal cost per participant is €275.

Let me know if you are interested.

At this point I am looking to you, enterprise partners throughout the Region, to see if you have met anyone in the last few months that might fit the profile. Perhaps it could be someone who is progressing from an existing Start Your Own Business or maybe someone who is currently trading and is interested in expanding into export markets.

If you have any enquiries that you could pass on to me, I would appreciate it. I will have leaflets printed in the coming weeks and I can send them on to you, if you wish. Please let me know if you would like any further information.
