Aileen McGrath, Head of Enterprise, Local Enterprise Office Kilkenny said “Local Enterprise Week is a fantastic marker in the road for any business.  It’s an opportunity to take stock of where you are, see where you can grow, where you can innovate or maybe become more sustainable and see what resources are available on your doorstep.  There is something for everyone and those who maybe always had that ambition to start on their own, or a great idea, this is the week to see how to get started and make it happen.

Details for all the events taking place across the country and in Kilkenny during Local Enterprise Week, from March 2nd to 6th March, are available at https://www.localenterprise.ie/kilkenny/training-events/local-enterprise-week-2026-agenda.html
