A new programme for female entrepreneurs in the Gaeltacht areas of Mayo and Galway was launched on Wednesday 25th January by Údarás na Gaeltachta, in partnership with the Empower Programme, a free initiative run by the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Innovation Hubs that aims to promote and fast-track female entrepreneurship.

15 women have signed up to participate in this programme which will be delivered part-time over the next 12 weeks by start-up experts. This allows participants to balance their family commitments while at the same time planning and developing their new business. The opportunity is to test start up idea(s) for customer acceptance.
