What it is about

The business focus for the Northern Ireland economy over the next few years is on growth. A number of factors will contribute to achieving this. This workshop brings together two of them: Women and Innovation.

The aim of this conference is to encourage women in Northern Ireland to realise their innovative potential and to foster growth in their business by opening minds and generating excitement about what is possible.

The event will also see the launch of two new programmes targeted at women. The first is targeted at 200 latent female entrepreneurs to help them find a viable business idea and the second is aimed at 40 women who are in business and wanting to use innovation to grow their business.
