Waterford Chamber has been overwhelmed by the level of interest in The Innovators Entrepreneurship Academy, highlighting the clear demand that exists across the South East for practical, high quality business support focused on growth and scaling.
Since launching the initiative, enquiries and applications have come from a wide range of businesses and entrepreneurs, demonstrating that there is a strong appetite for programmes that go beyond theory and provide direct access to experienced mentors, strategic guidance and valuable business connections.
Importantly, The Innovators is not just for start ups or early stage businesses. The programme has been specifically designed for ambitious SMEs and business owners who are looking to scale, diversify, innovate or take their business to the next level.
What has resonated strongly with applicants is the calibre of mentors involved, including entrepreneurs and business leaders who have successfully built and scaled businesses themselves, many of whom have been recognised through prestigious accolades such as EY Entrepreneur of the Year and the Waterford Business Awards.
The Innovators also complements the excellent enterprise supports already available across the region, adding another layer of peer learning, founder led mentoring and strategic growth support.
With a flexible structure requiring just four to six hours per month, the programme has been designed to fit around the realities of running a business, allowing participants to continue managing and growing their companies while benefiting from expert support and networking opportunities.
Waterford Chamber is encouraging any business owners, founders or SMEs considering applying to act now, as applications officially close on May 31st.
This is the final opportunity to join a programme that is already generating huge momentum across the South East business community and helping create a stronger ecosystem for innovation, entrepreneurship and business growth in the region.
