The first nationally co-ordinated 'Local Enterprise Week' takes place around the country from March 7^th to 13^th 2016, and is organised by the Local Enterprise Offices in every Local Authority area (#localenterprise).

Aimed at anyone thinking of starting a business, new start-ups and growing SMEs, over 300 events are being planned across every county in Ireland including workshops, seminars, networking evenings and business advice clinics.

The first-ever Local Enterprise Week will also showcase the wide range of supports available to Ireland's small business community, from grants to mentoring and from training to business advice.

The Local Enterprise Offices, which are the first-stop-shop for Ireland’s small businesses, are the driving force behind Local Enterprise Week, working in partnership with other state bodies and agencies.

The full calendar of countrywide events for Local Enterprise Week will be available through www.localenterprise.ie and by searching #localenterprise on social media. Most events are free of charge and all local businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs are invited to take part.
