This year, Cork innovates wants to help you and your business take a step in the right direction, and with this in mind, this year’s showcase is jam-packed with business value for your company, from a showcase of business support organisations and services, to a stellar line up of motivational and entrepreneurial speakers along with the Vodafone’s Smart Startup Network.

“The journey of a business begins with a number of critical steps,” explains Siobhan Finn, Cork innovates Co-ordinator.  “The INBusiness INCork showcase event will enable attendees to take those steps, meeting with potential partners, funding organisations and support agencies as well as hearing from case studies and successful entrepreneurs across every sector including technology, services, food and the craft industry,” explains Siobhán Finn.

Running from 9am to 4pm, it is expected that this showcase will attract record numbers.  The event is free to attend, but registration is recommended at https://inbusinessincorkshowcase.eventbrite.ie/

The Cork innovates steering group comprises representatives from Cork City Council and Cork County Council, the four Enterprise Boards in the region, Enterprise Ireland, UCC, CIT, Cork Chamber, CorkBIC and the South West Regional Authority (SWRA) as well as a number of entrepreneurs.  These stakeholders have come together to identify and support key projects and activities to promote Cork as a location of choice for regional, national and international entrpreneurs. Vist the Cork innovates website here .
