Fri Oct 16 2015 - 14:35
We are building on the success of last year’s AIB Start-Up Academy to bring the brightest new entrepreneurs on a journey that will grow their business. The academy is a joint venture between The Irish Times and AIB to help people start business by providing information, networking opportunities and the chance to win a place on an intensive course run by Irish Times Training.
These nights are the first stage in the process and connect aspiring entrepreneurs with like-minded people and the wider start-up community. The event was hosted by Gary Quinn (The Irish Times) and showcased the success stories of Brian Nolan (NoBo), Birgitta Hedin Curtin (Burren Smokehouse Salmon) and Colm Healy (Skelligs Chocolate). Ruth Ormiston (Cornude) pitched her business on the night, as did Seamus Tighe (Everest Granola) who was an AIB Start Up Academy finalist in 2014.
