Local Enterprise Week kicks off across Donegal on Monday, 3rd March with an exciting programme of events aimed at equipping small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills and insights they need to thrive. One of the highlights of this year’s programme is the ‘Made in Donegal Business Summit and Showcase’, an exciting event that brings together some of Donegal’s brightest minds from the worlds of sport and business, while celebrating the county’s thriving artisan food and craft industries.
The Made in Donegal Business Summit will bring together some of the most influential Donegal business leaders, entrepreneurs, and industry experts to discuss opportunities for growth, collaboration, and innovation within the county.
Hosted by Broadcaster Ciara Doherty, attendees will have the chance to engage in insightful panel discussions, hear from inspiring guest speakers, such as Jim McGuinness, Edward McDaid, Willie McCarter, Caroline Faulkner, Joe Barr and Patsy McGonagle, and learn about the latest trends and strategies shaping the business landscape and how to maximise personal and team performance.
Following the summit, the Made in Donegal Business Showcase will feature a lively exhibition, offering businesses the opportunity to showcase their products, services, and successes to a wider audience. Local entrepreneurs and businesses from various sectors will display their goods, network with industry professionals, and promote Donegal’s unique offerings to potential customers and partners. Attendees are invited to sample, explore, connect, and support our local entrepreneurs.
Donegal Influencer Eric Roberts, one of Ireland’s biggest social media stars, will also be broadcasting live from the event. The Made in Donegal Business Summit aims to inspire and equip local businesses with the tools they need to scale, innovate, and succeed, while fostering a sense of pride in the exceptional businesses that call Donegal home.
