Enterprise Ireland Networking Events: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access industry networking and export seminars designed to help businesses with growth potential expand their reach.
These events provide business owners with opportunities to connect with industry peers and attend seminars focused on exporting goods and services.
Who it's for
This scheme is intended for businesses that demonstrate significant potential for growth. Rather than being for every small startup or local shop, these sessions are designed for companies that are looking to scale their operations or expand their reach beyond their immediate local market. If your business has the capacity to grow and is looking to professionalize its approach to international trade, these events are designed for your specific needs.
What you get
Participants gain access to specialized industry networking opportunities and export-focused seminars. The networking sessions allow you to meet other professionals and potential partners within your sector, while the seminars are designed to provide practical knowledge on how to navigate the complexities of exporting your products or services. This combination of social connection and educational insight is intended to help businesses build the relationships and the knowledge base required for international success.
What it costs you
For most participants, these events are free to attend. While you do not have to worry about a high entry fee, you will need to commit the time required to go through the official registration process. You must also dedicate the time to actually attend the sessions to get the full value from the networking and the information provided.
The catch to know
The main thing to keep in mind is that these events are often highly targeted. Because they are designed to support growth, many sessions are tailored toward companies at specific stages of their development. You may find that some events are only open to businesses that have already reached a certain level of maturity or those that meet particular export criteria, so it is important to check the specific focus of an event before you commit your time.

- Determine if your business is at the specific growth stage required for a particular event.
- Check the official listings for upcoming seminar and networking dates.
