Immigrant Entrepreneurship

I would like to call to your attention to several events for prospective entrepreneurs that are coming up shortly in Dublin. These are all without charge to participants.

On Saturday 4th April 2009, the Trade and Investment Promotion Section of the Polish Embassy in partnership with Polski Express magazine will present “Your company in Ireland: Start up, finance and growing your business” 10.00 – 13.30 Grand Canal Hotel, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. Registration is required: http://us.mc314.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=promotion.dublin@trade.gov.pl. For additional information, contact: Polish Embassy, tel. 01 269 13 70; Polski Express, tel. 01 818 26 47.

Additionally, the Institute for Minority Entrepreneurship (IME) at the Dublin Institute of Technology, Aungier Street, Dublin 2 (Room 5-034, 5th Floor) will be hosting the following seminars:
Tuesday March 24th – Finance (6-7.30 pm)
Tuesday April 28th – Marketing (6-7.30 pm)
Tuesday May 26th – Internet (6-7.30 pm)

For additional information, contact: http://us.mc314.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=info@ime.ie, 01 402 7103. All of these seminars are without charge and open to all.

Finally, my online survey on attitudes and perceptions of immigrant entrepreneurs will be closing shortly. It is available at:

I encourage you, if you have not already done so, to take the brief survey yourself and forward it to others that you know. It is important to get your experience so that my recommendations to Dublin City Council will be directly relevant and make it easier to start and grow businesses in Dublin in the future.

Best regards,
Jack
