Enterprise Ireland believes that Ireland’s economic success will be driven by harnessing a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem which utilises the skills, ambition and talent of a diverse population.
Increasing opportunities for women entrepreneurs and in management is a strong focus for Enterprise Ireland, and this work is underpinned by our six-year Action Plan for Women in Business.
A key objective of our Women in Business Strategy is to grow the number of women becoming entrepreneurs and leaders, and we have set ambitious targets. While there is still work to do, progress is now clear and in 2022, 37% of the 161 start-ups we invested in were women-led, up from just 8% in 2012.
