Podiem was tasked with creating and executing a networking breakfast aimed to help attendees craft the story of their business and encourage them to meet organisations that can support their business journey.
Enterprise Exchange was positioned as a ‘go to’ networking breakfast event for potential/new start-ups, established businesses and social enterprises, with over 100 attendees who availed of support and guidance on funding, grants, mentor support and trade opportunities. Attendees also had the opportunity to glean inspiration from two of Northern Ireland’s most impactful entrepreneurs, Dave Linton, Founder & CEO of Madlug, and Caroline O’Neill, Founder of Digg for Success, who both shared their experiences and expertise in audience connection and business growth. The exhibition and networking aspect of the event was well-received with 15 individual exhibition stands all showcasing support available for local businesses and entrepreneurs, and high levels of engagement between both exhibitors and attendees. This was further reflected in the positive feedback and follow-up requests from attendees as a result of connections and conversations established on the day.

A great opportunity to link with a range of companies and organisations that will support small businesses and make you feel less alone in the challenges faced.
