Northwest Regional Enterprise Plan, Donegal LEO are hosting an event to develop an action plan over the next 5-10 years to assist in driving entrepreneurship (start up and scaling) in the Northwest region. Unfortunately, the Northwest of Ireland has the lowest levels of startups (per head of pop) and has had no high potential start ups in recent years.

Entrepreneurship in the Northwest takes place on Wed, 17 Jan 2024 10:00 – 14:00 at Lough Eske Castle.

With attendees from all levels of the enterprise agencies, educational institutes and select successful business people, together we will analyze the current environment, look at regional comparison data and blue sky thinking, Northwest Regional Enterprise Plan, Donegal LEO propose to develop an action plan around what additional actions we need to do to reverse recent trends.
