National call to find ambitious female entrepreneurs

Going for Growth, a programme that has supported some of Ireland’s most successful female entrepreneurs, is looking for its new batch of participants.

Since 2008, more than 450 female entrepreneurs such as Cocoa Brown’s Marissa Carter have taken part in the national programme.

Reports from last year’s programme show that participants’ businesses experienced a combined growth in sales over the cycle of €7.5m (+28%), the number of exports increased by 43% and employment in participants’ businesses rose to 485 (+17%).
