Training ‘green’ entrepreneurs

SustainEd is delighted to have won a contract with the Ballymun/WhitehallPartnership to work with ‘green’ entrepreneurs on their strategic and business planning. The work is part of a long term incubation project that supports entrepreneurs in developing their business ideas into profitable enterprises. SustainEd’s workshops will cover marketing, strategic planning, feasibility and financial planning over the next four months. The businesses selected to take part in the project cover several different aspects of the emerging green economy. This pilot project is linked to An tSlí Glas which is an EU supported programme building a ‘corridor’ of activity with partners such as Dublin City University, Dublin Airport Authority, Fingal County Council and others. The businesses invovled cover a wide spectrum from green retailing, rainwater harvesting, renewable energy initiatives to global consultancy initiatives. The promoters will prepare business plans to help pitch their ideas to potential investors.
