Guest speakers also included local businesses and micro exporters who have taken the first steps into foreign markets and discussed the challenges and opportunities of expanding their sales markets. Each client also discussed the levels of supports that they availed of through Local Enterprise Office Limerick.
Mike Cantwell, Head of Enterprise at LEO Limerick said, “the event was an opportunity for LEO Limerick to share recent changes to the products available to businesses through LEO Limerick which can help companies strengthen their digital presence, aid energy efficiency, and support exports. There’s a range of different support changes that are happening for LEO Limerick. But we also want to encourage businesses to consider export as an option to grow their business going forward.”
An added benefit to the event was the opportunity for attendees to network among Limerick entrepreneurial and business community, giving the chance to share ideas and discuss issues and initiatives in local enterprise. The event proved to be a highlight for clients as they prepare for busy summer months ahead.
Limerick LEO provides a range of services directly to the small and microenterprise sector as well as helping to create a beneficial environment in which the sector can flourish by offering many supports for local businesses no matter what part of their business journey they are on.
