Female entrepreneurs and budding businesswomen from across Cork and Kerry are encouraged to register for this year’s National Women’s Enterprise Day. The Local Enterprise Office (LEO) initiative for the South West Region will be hosted by LEOs Cork and Kerry on Thursday, the 16th of October in Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Little Island, Cork.
