The title of the event is ‘The Business of Social Enterprise, a challenging and provocative examination of social enterprise as a business model.’
It takes place in the Apex Theatre, Tallaght on Thursday March 9th 2023, 10.00 to 12.00
“There is a growing awareness of Social Enterprise among the public and businesses alike. However, while it is becoming understood in terms of social impact, it is less understood in terms of being an actual business model capable of profitability, scaling and international expansion. This conference examines Social Enterprise as a business model. The seminar is co-hosted by Partas, SERI and South Dublin LEO. The venue is the new theatre called The Apex, in the Tallaght Enterprise Centre which is currently undergoing a multi-million euro redevelopment by Partas as a major Food Hub for Tallaght.”
