This is a great opportunity to explore your Sustainable Business Idea with the support of MaREI.

You will learn about Start Up methodologies that help understand what is important in developing your idea. You will also learn some of the language of Entrepreneurship and how to effectively communicate your idea.

There are three Masterclasses in the series with support available throughout. Those who want to pursue their idea further after the series will be introduced to people who provide relevant follow on supports. These supports could be in your University or Third Level Institution if you are a Student or Researcher or perhaps they are available elsewhere.

Early stage start ups not associated with any Third Level Institution are also very welcome and encouraged to participate.

We have connections with a broad network of Irish and International support organisations who are waiting to support your Entrepreneurial Journey.

The Masterclass facilitators are Ron Immink and Judie Russell, two experienced professionals in this area who also like to have fun!

  • April 1st – Ron – Start Up Methodologies that Work and Why

    • April 15th – Ron – Applying the Strategic Box – Passion, Purpose and Positioning

    • April 22nd – Judie – Design, Create and Deliver a Great Video Pitch
