FOCUS ON FOOD - Sharing the Vision for Athy Food, Drink and Skills Innovation Hub

Kildare County Council’s Enterprise, Tourism and Economic Development team wish to invite all those involved in the food and beverage sector in Kildare as we share the vision for The Athy Food, Drink, & Skills Innovation Hub.

We plan to highlight the importance of the programmed project process, the purpose of the planned design, and the future opportunities and innovations that can be sought from the development.  

The hub will be home to County Kildare’s growing food and drink sector and will support entrepreneurs in developing innovative products and methods.

The hub’s development will also play a pivotal role in addressing unemployment by providing accessible and exciting further education pathways and training.

You are invited to join us in the Clonard Court Hotel on Friday 28^th June at 9:30am.

Please RSVP by using the book now link or by emailing localenterprise@kildarecoco.ie
