GEC Startup to Scale Conference: practical founder insights on funding, regulation, supports, UK expansion and scaling, 7 October.
As part of a year-long programme celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC) and its contribution to Ireland’s startup ecosystem, we are delighted to host the GEC Startup to Scale Conference on 7 October. Designed with a Founder-to-Founder focus, this is a day for ambitious entrepreneurs looking to move from startup to scale-up with honest insights, practical advice and real stories from those who have been there. Sponsored by: Enterprise Ireland I Dublin City Council I Locale Enterprise Office Dublin City I Furthr I Diageo. We’ll explore the questions founders need answers to: How do you get your business off the ground - and ready to scale? What are funders really looking for when they write the cheque? How do regulation and government policy impact your growth journey? What does it really take to scale a successful Irish business? The conference will also feature an inspiring conversation with one of Ireland’s leading entrepreneurs, John Corley, CEO of Spanish Point Technologies, who started the company in the GEC in 2005 and has built it into a successful technology business. From starting out to scaling up, this is a chance to hear the real stories, learn from experienced founders and connect with the people who can help take your business to the next level. Come for the insights. Stay for the connections. Leave
