Introduction – Export to Win
For the fifth StartUp Ballymun we have set a new theme, “Export to Win”. Book here Export to Win StartUp Ballymun 26 April
To grow a business in Ireland exporting is a must. With an all-island population of 5 million plus, for most businesses there are better growth opportunities elsewhere.
With this event our aim is to encourage small and SME business owners in north Dublin (and in Ireland) to realise their potential for creating wealth by exporting.
There are 3 pillars to all our events in Ballymun, north Dublin
- Information & advice from our enterprise partners
- Creating a space for networking
- The panel of entrepreneurs, sharing practical advice and offering their experience

Thank you!
A shout out to all the people who have supported this event behind the scenes. In the search for speakers (who are unpaid) I have contacted and near harassed many people from my own personal network, and poked into other people’s networks of friends and business connections. Exporters are busy people in April, so we are delighted with the depth of experience on this impressive panel.
