The Grow It All-Island Programme is a groundbreaking initiative designed specifically for female entrepreneurs in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. With a total of 30 available spots, this program aims to support both startup founders and established business owners.
Through a series of masterclasses, in-person events, and personalized business coaching, participants in the Grow It All-Island Programme will have access to invaluable resources and guidance on expanding their businesses across the entire island of Ireland. Topics covered include external investment, marketing skills, branding, and more. The masterclasses are scheduled to take place between January and May of next year.
In addition to the educational components, participants will also have the opportunity to attend several retreats. These experiences will further enhance their networking opportunities and give them a chance to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs.
Selected candidates will kick off the program by attending a two-day event at Killeavy Castle in Newry, where they will have the chance to meet fellow founders and gain valuable insights into growing existing customer bases.
The Grow It All-Island Programme is made possible through funding from the InterTrade Ireland Synergy Fund and is supported by the prestigious EY Entrepreneur of the Year Programme.
Applications for this incredible opportunity will close in early November, so interested individuals are encouraged to apply promptly.
“This collaboration represents an exciting partnership between the leading women’s business networks in the country, offering participants a unique chance to grow their connections and expand their businesses throughout the entire island of Ireland,” remarked Emma Early-Murphy, the national president of Network Ireland.
Network Ireland, established in 1983, is dedicated to fostering the personal and professional development of women in business across Ireland. With over 1,000 members and hosting approximately 250 events annually, Network Ireland provides a supportive community for women to thrive in their careers.
Lorraine Acheson, the managing director of Women In Business, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, “Our organizations share a common goal of empowering women founders to grow, connect, and learn. This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting journey, as 30 women will have the opportunity to establish valuable connections and increase trade not only on the island of Ireland but also beyond.”
Women In Business, a network for women in the workplace based in Northern Ireland and boasting over 8,000 members, actively supports professional growth and development.
According to TechIreland, out of the 305 Irish startups that secured funding last year, 72 had a female founder. Furthermore, of the 3,032 indigenous tech companies listed on TechIreland, only 474 were founded by women.
