After a quiet winter period for the Greenhouse we are now full of the joys of spring and working on a lot of new events & activities. Over the next 6-12 months we will run a number of Business Camps throughout Ireland. In addition to that we will start a new Incubation program in June (exact date to be confirmed) and in the run-up to that we are organising a series of weekly interactive sessions dealing with all different aspects of starting your own business. The content of these sessions will vary from “investor readiness” and “operational readiness” to “intellectual property”, “legal aspects of starting your own business” to marketing & sales etc. The session format will vary from web-cast conducted by business experts from around the globe to presentations from local business experts. The sessions will be followed by some quality face-to-face networking.
If you’re a start-up interested in attending these sessions please contact us.
