The event is an opportunity for businesses ready to take the next step to gain invaluable advice from some of the biggest names in business who will share their knowledge and experience of developing a business on a global stage.

Fergal Broder, CEO LotusWorks said: “The Entrepreneur Exchange is a great opportunity to meet with new successful businesses and lend our help and support where needed. I’m happy to share my experiences especially if it can inform others and help them improve and grow.”

Gillian Buckley, investment manager with the Western Development Commission, said: “The Entrepreneur Exchange Programme is a great opportunity for ambitious entrepreneurs to access some of the best business minds in the country. A number of our portfolio companies participated in last year’s event and found it to be of tremendous benefit to their business and to themselves personally, as being an entrepreneur can be a lonely occupation,” said Buckley.

The Entrepreneur Exchange is being run by The Western Development Commission (WDC ), The Enterprise Europe Network and Sligo Chamber to stimulate entrepreneurship and business. The Entrepreneur Exchange takes place at the Radisson Hotel, Sligo on November 27 and 28.
