Momentum was delighted to be invited to an International Women’s Day event hosted by Sligo Women in Business Network (SWIBN) and Sligo Local Enterprise Office at the Hawk’s Well Theatre.
Over one hundred women gathered to hear from an accomplished panel comprised of Senator Nessa Cosgrove, International Criminal Lawyer and Entrepreneur Joanna Frivet, and business owners OxyZone Sligo Anna Miklikowska and Barbara Aluk, who shared their time and stories so generously. Their contributions and the Q and A it sparked were expertly moderated by Susan O'Keeffe, who also shared some of her own experiences of life as a female investigative journalist.
After the panel discussion, there was an informal networking session. The Momentum team welcomed many women to our display stand, where we introduced the mosaic project and the benefit and support it offers female entrepreneurs. The response and feedback was very positive. It was great to hear female entrepreneurs, and prospective entrepreneurs share their experiences and challenges and let them know that these are addressed in the tools we are developing in the mosaic project.
