Fuelling Ambition Roadshows underway

Over 170 business women and entrepreneurs attended the Fuelling Ambition ‘Steps to Success’ Roadshows in Kilkenny and Wicklow last week. Organised by Enterprise Ireland and Network Ireland, in conjunction with the Local Enterprise Offices (LEO) and the Entrepreneurs Academy, the aim of the roadshow is to encourage, support and drive the ambition of female entrepreneurs by showcasing the ‘Steps to Success’ of thriving Irish business women and entrepreneurs.

 

Visiting seven locations nationwide, the roadshow features an Elevator Pitch competition worth €4,000 at each location. The winner of the Wicklow competition is Lucy Freidman, CEO of SwitchMetrics. Claire O’Neill of LED Span won the Kilkenny competition.

 

The prize package is designed to fast-track each winner along the steps to business success and includes:

 

  • 10 sessions with Enterprise Ireland Mentors and attendance at Enterprise Ireland’s Excel at Export Selling training programme
  • Annual membership of Network Ireland
  • Leadership training programme with the Entrepreneurs Academy, a national entrepreneur development organisation that has trained and supported 30,000 start-ups and small businesses.

The roadshow will also visit Portlaoise (25 April), Castlebar (26 April), Sligo (11 May), Bunratty (14 June) and Cavan (28 June). The roadshows are free of charge to existing and potential entrepreneurs and business women and booking is strongly advised.
