Enterprise Development and Enterprise Culture
Longford Local Enterprise Office acts as a catalyst and advocate for Enterprise Development, with a high-level of coordination and collaboration between Longford LEO and other stakeholders to support the micro and small business sector.
Longford LEO also advocates for an Enterprise Culture, one where people are creative and not reluctant to take risks, cognisant of the potential benefit of doing so. Most successful businesses in Ireland in recent years typify this Enterprise Culture, with Longford LEO directly involved in programmes and events with the ultimate objective of increasing the future opportunity for business success.
