BALLYMENA BUSINESS CENTRE & THE GALLAHER TRUST SET TO HOST ROADSHOW TO CELEBRATE GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK

Ballymena Business Centre, supported by The Gallaher Trust are looking forward to hosting a local roadshow to celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week.  The key aim of the event is to encourage entrepreneurship, business growth, and innovation across the Greater Ballymena Area. 

The Gallaher Trust projects have enabled Ballymena Business Centre to make a significant contribution to the wider Ballymena economy over the last three years.  Hundreds of local aspiring entrepreneurs and growing businesses have availed of the £500 Start-up Seed Fund and FREE monthly business development webinars.  More recently, following the ease of Covid-19 restrictions the Retail Ready programme was able to get underway; providing dedicated funded retail space for a period of 2 months and business support for local retail businesses, to test market their products and services in Ballymena Town Centre. 

The 4iInnovation project also successfully launched earlier this month, with the purpose of helping micro and small businesses across all sectors in Ballymena adapt to changing times, become more agile within the turbulent market conditions and help businesses to innovate.   Ballymena Business Centre & The Gallaher Trust partnership aims to promote and implement entrepreneurship across Ballymena, ultimately leading to job creation in the area.

In addition to raising awareness of the support Ballymena Business Centre provide in-house, the event will host other key stakeholder exhibitors who can offer a wide range of business and financial support to entrepreneurs.  The road show is a fantastic opportunity for anyone thinking of starting a business or those who currently own a local SME to find out more about business development and financial support.

The Global Entrepreneurship Week Road Show will take place on Saturday 13th November from 11am to 3pm at Midtown Makers Studio & Shop, 51-53 Church Street, Ballymena, BT43 6DD.  COVID-19 Restrictions will be in place, supporting a safe environment.  There are 4 booking slots available. Registration links can be found above.
