The perfect event for aspiring entrepreneurs…
The hugely successful AIB Start-Up Academy has kicked off its second year, and the latest stop of the nationwide tour was in Athlone in the Sheraton Hotel.
Attendees thinking about starting their own business heard directly from some incredibly esteemed and experienced entrepreneurs at one of Ireland’s best networking events.
John Tuohy spoke about his company, Nightline, as well as the CEO and Founder of THEYA, Ciara Donlon.
As well as receiving some invaluable advice from industry experts, there was also the chance to listen to three budding Irish entrepreneurs; Darragh O’Rourke from Agri Link Farm Services, Linda Syron from Mollie Moo’s Pet Farm and Karl McCarthy from Usher.
