Join us at the London Irish Centre for an inspiring evening spotlighting Ireland’s West as a thriving hub of innovation, enterprise, and community.
Hosted by the Western Development Commission, this event brings you closer to the people and organisations shaping the region’s future.
Attendees will hear directly from entrepreneurs on the ground as they share their experiences of building and scaling businesses in the West, including Darren Burke of FeelTect and Conor Layden of Arigna Group, as well as founders from Sliabh Liag Distillery and Common Knowledge, among others.
The event will also explore the region’s growing innovation ecosystem, featuring voices from Enterprise Ireland, IDA, Portershed, CREW, AIM Sligo, Platform 94, and Local Enterprise Offices, highlighting how collaboration is driving momentum across tech, creative industries, and startups.
The evening also highlights the powerful role of the diaspora, creating space for meaningful connections, new partnerships, and shared ambition.
Blending professional insight with cultural expression and high-quality networking, this is more than a celebration, it’s a platform to engage, contribute and belong to a forward-looking region.
