Our next TechBrew event entitled “How tough do you need to be? ” features 3 entrepreneurs talking about their experiences and journeys in building tech businesses and provides everyone with the opportunity to contribute and air their views.

This event will hear from all three panellists on their entrepreneurial journeys and focus on the resilience and stamina necessary to be a Tech Entrepreneur.
Since the pandemic it@cork events have become virtual but they continue to generate interest and engagement from technologists in the region. And we will hopefully return to a face-to-face format soon.
In the meantime, our virtual TechBrew events offer the opportunity to hear about the experiences and journeys of different tech entrepreneurs.

This led him to start a conversation on mental health and wellbeing issues on the island of Ireland and internationally. Later that year, he founded Cycle Against Suicide, a charity focused on encouraging and promoting help-seeking behaviors. This marked the start of his journey into understanding better how we can change beliefs and behaviors in relation to mental health and wellbeing in the workplace and throughout the wider community.
