Join us for a vibrant Local Enterprise Week event celebrating the important role social enterprises play in building thriving, sustainable local food systems.

From community‑supported agriculture to innovative food waste solutions, social enterprises are transforming how we produce, share, and enjoy food. At this showcase event, you’ll hear directly from a diverse range of social enterprises about their work, impact and the creative ways they’re strengthening local communities.

The event will be catered by social enterprises, giving you the chance to sample delicious food and drink crafted with purpose. It’s the perfect opportunity to taste the difference that socially driven, community‑focused businesses can make, so come hungry!

We’re delighted to officially launch the 2026 Dublin City Social Enterprise Awards at this event. Come along to hear from previous award winners as they share their journeys, insights and inspiration. Whether you’re already involved in the sector or simply curious, this event will spark ideas, connections and possibilities for the year ahead.
