Ireland’s national startup week, the Startup Gathering 2015, taking place across Ireland from the 5th to 10th October, is a platform to support and celebrate entrepreneurs; the doers, the change makers, the innovators, the job creators, the ‘let’s make it happen’ people who launch businesses, bring ideas to life and drive Ireland’s economic growth. It’s also about inspiring others to explore their potential as self-starters and innovators and bringing the whole business community together to champion entrepreneurs.
Led by Startup Ireland, Startup Gathering 2015 is a major initiative of the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs 2015 and is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. It is also sponsored by Bank of Ireland, our key strategic partner, who has demonstrated a huge commitment to the startup agenda by supporting the Startup Gathering both financially and operationally. We are hugely appreciative of our partners and supporters.
