 The Acting Director of the Small Firms Association, Avine McNally has said that the recent findings of an EU study on Entrepreneurship are very encouraging for future entrepreneurs. According to McNally, it is essential for Ireland to develop an entrepreneurial culture. “There is never a good time to start a business, yet over 1,080 people a month in 2009 took the risk and set up a business in Ireland.”
The EU Survey looks at entrepreneurship and employment preferences across Europe and some of the other major world economies. “Taking the plunge and starting a business can be risky and the survey shows that across Europe, Irish people are amongst the most willing to throw caution to the wind. The survey shows that nearly half of Irish people (49%) would like to be self-employed or start their own business, this is higher than the EU average of 45%.”

 The first BizCamp Galway takes place on the 11th September when budding entrepreneurs will gather in the Cairnes Building at NUI Galway for a day of networking, learning and sharing.
BizCamp is an opportunity for entrepreneurs and innovators to come together, share experiences, and possibly create new value out of the day. It’ll be a chance to meet up with people who’ve been there, done that and bought the t-shirt – members of the business community, VCs and investors, and representatives from the relevant state agencies.
