Regional Entrepreneurship Partner Programme 

Delivered by CREW in partnership with Údarás na Gaeltachta, this Regional Entrepreneurship Training Programme brings high-impact training opportunities to creative and innovation hubs across the west of Ireland.

The programme is designed to empower entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business leaders to harness creative thinking, design-led innovation, and emerging technologies — including AI and design thinking — to drive business growth and resilience.

Through a series of interactive workshops and practical learning sessions, participants will explore how to apply creative problem-solving, innovation methodologies, and digital tools to real-world business challenges. The programme encourages collaboration across sectors — from creative industries to tourism, education, and technology — showcasing how creative skills can fuel entrepreneurship, enhance competitiveness, and unlock new market opportunities.

By connecting regional talent with expert mentors and peer networks, the initiative strengthens the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Gaeltacht and beyond, fostering innovation-led growth across Ireland’s western region.

This collaborative programme has run in 2024 and 2025.
