Setting up your own business is one of the most rewarding career paths women can choose. However, we know that establishing and growing your business is very challenging and one of the major gaps for many Entrepreneurs is a supportive network of peers. The Dublin City Enterprise Network for Women was set by Dublin City Enterprise Board specifically to provide such a network for women who have set up their own business.
As a member of the Dublin City Enterprise Network for Women, you’ll be able to:

This Network is run as a business support network for all female entrepreneurs. Members can utilize the network to promote their business, create alliances with other members, learn new skills, get help from members in challenges that they may face in their business and increase their contacts to encourage business development.
Members also have the opportunity to promote their business at each meeting by hosting a resource table, this is an exhibition stand to display products and information about services. Each resource table host will also have the opportunity to give a brief presentation about their business.
You can attend one Network meeting for free before paying membership, except where it states Members only event.
"The Network is a great idea for people in business to discuss with other small business owners common issues and allow us to see what other people are doing. The Network has assisted me personally to be excited about my business again and remind me of the reasons why we went in to business to begin with” Cora Barnes of Three Q Catering and Network Member
Prior booking is essential for newcomers and members attending the monthly meeting.
