LEW 2020: Ethnic Entrepreneurs Expo
Hosted by Empower
Ireland has a long and successful history of entrepreneurship and many newcomers aspire to own a profitable small business. However, there are specific challenges ethnic entrepreneurs face when starting and operating a small business in the Irish business landscape.
What is the Ethnic Entrepreneurs Expo?
The Ethnic Enterprise Expo is a business-to-business networking event including panel discussion, workshops and audience participation. It aims to address the real life issues that ethnic entrepreneurs face and the panel (which is made up of ethnic entrepreneurs) will share their real life solutions. The event is organised by PhoenixRize Consulting, a diversity and inclusion consultancy, in collaboration with the Local Enterprise Office (LEO) Fingal and Empower. The event aims to empower aspiring entrepreneurs to achieve success and prosperity in business in Ireland.
