Our opening event “Business Boost” is a focused, practical workshop designed for local business owners who are open to positive change & adopting new digital business approaches to enhance their business operations.

Through guided discussion and practical exercises, you will step back from the day to day, identify priority areas your business could implement new or enhanced digital solutions and leave with a clear & achievable next step.

A facilitated fireside chat with local SMEs and an inspiring keynote address by Mark Kelly of AI Ireland will share real examples of what works, what doesn’t, and how practical digital changes can make businesses stronger, more efficient, and ready to grow.

You will also learn about relevant Local Enterprise Office supports available to

help you.
