Spirit of Enterprise Forum

The Spirit of Enterprise Forum is an integrated, interactive group of all interested parties involved in the promotion and encouragement of enterprise and entrepreneurship in the South East region of Ireland. A critical element to the success of the South East developing as an entrepreneurial region is to have co-operation, dialogue and common regional goals with and between the Regional Authority, Enterprise Support Agencies, Higher Education Institutions, Primary and Post-Primary Teaching, Research Organisations, Entrepreneurs, Industry Representatives (indigenous and multi-national), Local Government, Research Centres and the Centre for Entrepreneurship.

The Spirit of Enterprise Forum will meet 3-4 times per year to discuss ideas/projects/initiatives that will benefit the economic development of the South East. The intention is to discuss these in an open manner and to develop relevant coalitions for regional development. An important element of the process is that issues should relate to the vision and themes outlined by the Spirit of Enterprise Forum, which can be modified as the South East progresses along its developmental paths.
