National Women's Enterprise Day is an annual event aimed at promoting, encouraging and supporting female entrepreneurs and women in enterprise in Ireland.  The Local Enterprise Offices along with Enterprise Ireland provide a wide range of help, incentives, training, and development programmes to female entrepreneurs.

National Women's Enterprise Day (NWED) opens the prospect of entrepreneurship to women who may not have considered it before. It highlights what support is available. It provides valuable networking opportunities and connections with industry experts.  It also celebrates the achievements of women in enterprise.

2026 marks NWED’s 20th anniversary and this presents a great reason to celebrate female entrepreneurship and women in enterprise.
