Editor's Notes
Delighted to be here, and welcome the opportunity to come and talk to some entrepreneurs and hopefully some would-be entrepreneurs (by the end of my talk today!)
I’m going to talk to you today about:
Enterprise Ireland (briefly) and the results that our clients have achieved
The Start Up landscape and
some of the areas of support both external to EI
as well as EI supports particularly focusing on CSF and HPSU supports
And the way that EI HPSU division works with clients both before and after investment
