Technological University Dublin has launched a new programme to empower women in the Dublin region to explore entrepreneurship and turn their business ideas into reality.
TrailblazHER is free of charge and open to women aged 18 and over.
It provides step-by-step guidance and connects participants with Ireland's enterprise ecosystem.
The programme has received support from Intel Ireland, ESB, Fidelity Investments, Jones Engineering, Workday, Enterprise Mobility and PwC.
It's also supported by Enterprise Ireland and the Local Enterprise Offices.
"The TrailblazHER™ First Steps Programme reflects our dedication to empowering women from all walks of life," said Claire Mac Namee, Director of TrailblazHER and Head of Enterprise Engagement at TU Dublin.
"With only 19% of Irish businesses currently women-led, this initiative aims to significantly increase that figure, paving the way for a more balanced and diverse business landscape," she added.
Information sessions about the TrailblazHER™ First Steps will be held at four locations across Dublin during the last week of January.
