INSPIRING WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS

What is the objective?

TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF FEMALE-LED INNOVATIVE BUSINESSES OF SCALE, FOCUSED ON EXPORT MARKETS.

Through the Global Entrepreneur Monitor (GEM) research, we know that more women in Ireland are becoming entrepreneurs and that even more aspire to start new businesses in the years ahead. Moreover, the rate of female early stage

The Going for Growth Suite of Initiatives

Building on this fertile ground, we want to introduce the possibility of an entrepreneurial career to particular groups of women that may not have considered it previously and where we believe lies untapped entrepreneurial potential……women in senior corporate positions, those with doctoral and post-doctoral academic qualifications, professional women, women seeking a change in their life, among others.

These women may not have considered the possibility of an entrepreneurial career previously, of if they have, may not have taken any concrete steps towards making their aspiration or latent idea a reality.

We want to open their minds to what might be possible and, if they wish, to support them, so that they may become actively committed to developing their idea into a scalable, innovative business, which is focused on export markets.

What people are saying

“Enterprise Ireland believes that Ireland’s economic success will depend on a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem which utilises all the skills, ambition and talent of a diverse population. Increasing the opportunities for women entrepreneurs and women in management is a key focus for Enterprise Ireland, and our six-year Women in Business Strategy aims to grow the number of women becoming entrepreneurs and leaders. We’ve set ambitious targets, including doubling the number of women-led companies in the export market by 2025, and progress is now clear. In 2022, 58 (more than one-third) of the 161 start-ups we invested in were women-led, up from just 8% in 2012. ‘Inspiring Women Entrepreneurs’ is all about reaching out to and supporting women who want to become entrepreneurs and build innovative businesses of scale, focused on export markets. I have no doubt that many of these will be leading Irish companies in the future and we look forward to supporting them on their journey.”
