Grow your business with help from this Government grant scheme, designed to assist small businesses. It offers financial assistance of up to €2,500 along with training and advice to help your business trade online.  Participating in this scheme can make the process of trading online much easier for you.

“Irish people spend more than €14,000 every minute, that’s €850,000 every hour, 24 hours a day online but less than 1 in 3 small businesses in Ireland are selling online. Smaller businesses, which are the backbone of every town and village, are not engaged in online activity and this is bad for business. Businesses that are not trading online are at risk of being left behind.  With up to 70% of Ireland’s annual spend currently going overseas, there is a massive opportunity for Irish business to grow by targeting online shoppers,” stated Minister Naughten.

What will be covered at at this workshop:

• Alan Finneran from IEDR Ireland Domain Registry will speak on why Irish business should be online
• Local businesses that have benefited from the scheme
• How the scheme works
• Trade stands of internet solution and digital marketing providers

Registration is from 17:30 with finger food, teas & coffee available
