Local Enterprise Showcase 2023
Showcase Ireland 2023 will take place from Sunday, 22nd to Tuesday, 24th January 2022 at the RDS, Dublin. The Local Enterprise Showcase will be located on the ground floor in RDS Hall 3 (The Serpentine Hall).
Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) in Cork City, Cork North & West and South Cork are continuing our support and commitment of the Home & Gift, Fashion and Jewellery sectors by offering a limited number of exhibition spaces to clients at a subsidised rate of €600 for 2m X 2m individual stands.
If you wish to be considered for this subsidised individual stand, please complete and submit the online application by our deadline date of 12 midnight on Tuesday, 18th October 2022. Our online system will shut down from this date and time so late applications cannot not be accepted. Please note that group stands are not permitted at the 2023 event, as in recent years (i.e. individual stands only) and therefore one application form per client is required.
