This Powerhouse Business Break is all about you and the women around you – a relaxed, structured space to get to know the businesswomen within the Powerhouse network and learn from each other.

What is Powerhouse? 

The Powerhouse Network is supported by Carlow County Council’s Local Enterprise Office and our partners in Carlow Library Service, County Carlow Chamber, Carlow Kilkenny Skillnet and South East Technological University. It’s a dynamic community designed to empower women entrepreneurs and professionals with the connections, tools and inspiration needed to succeed. 

As part of the wider South East support ecosystem, Powerhouse helps women to grow sustainably, increase turnover and build long-term resilience through peer learning, networking and strategic collaboration.  

 

Why your business network matters 

No one builds a business alone. A strong network can: 

  • Open doors to new clients, collaborators and suppliers 

  • Give you honest feedback, ideas and fresh perspectives 

  • Provide support on the days when business feels heavy, not just exciting 

  • Help you avoid mistakes by learning from someone who’s already been there 

At Powerhouse, we know some of the best business insights come from your peers. By joining the Business Break series, you’ll connect with like-minded businesswomen who are navigating similar questions around growth, marketing, finance, confidence and balance.  

What to Expect at this Business Break 

  • Guided introductions so you can connect beyond “what do you do?” 

  • Small-group conversations on real business topics – not just small talk 

  • Space to share what you’re working on and what support you’re looking for 

  • Opportunity-sharing and collaboration spotting across the room 

  • A warm, welcoming environment where every voice is respected 

You’ll leave with new contacts, practical ideas, and a clearer sense of who’s in your corner within the Powerhouse network. 

Investment & Booking 

  • €25 per session, or
