Stellar line-up for National Women’s Enterprise Day
‘WE’RE stronger together’ is the message from Local Enterprise Office Wicklow at the announcement of events to mark National Women’s Enterprise Day on Wednesday, October 14.
Over 20,500 female entrepreneurs have taken part in Local Enterprise Offices training programmes and more than 3,560 have benefited from business mentoring so far in 2020.
As Covid-19 restrictions continue, key themes of resilience, self-care, innovation and opportunity will feature under the ‘Stronger Together’ message.
Vibeke Delahunt, head of Enterprise with Local Enterprise Office Wicklow, said: ‘On National Women’s Enterprise Day on October 14, we want to show businesses that we’re “Stronger Together”. We also want to show how small changes can make big impacts, how we can learn from each other, how small businesses can cultivate innovation and how international markets can offer new opportunities. Registration is now open and events are free to join so I would encourage local businesswomen and aspiring female entrepreneurs to join us online
for a day of education, inspiration and motivation.’
The interactive events on October 14 for National Women’s Enterprise Day are moving online to LocalEnterprise. ie/NWED. Entrepreneurs who will be sharing their insights include Olympian-turned-company founder Derval O’ Rourke, Sonia Deasy of the Irish global skincare brand Pestle & Mortar, Pamela Laird of Moxi Loves, who was a finalist on BBC’s ‘ The Apprentice’, and Áine Kerr, the co-founder of Kinzen and RTÉ broadcaster, who is also the M.C. for the day.
