BES/SCS Briefing in Clarion on Monday
CorkBIC have arranged a briefing session on BES/SCS next Monday too. Whilst the Rubicon session is specifically targetted at start-ups, this one is more for the wider business community.
Short presentations will be made by:
Kevin Kenny, Tax Partner, Ernst & Young
Clare Creamer, Assistant Principal, Revenue Commissioners
Gerry O’Brien, Enterprise Ireland
Monday 12th November at 4pm – 5.15pm (to be followed by drinks reception) in the Clarion Hotel, Cork
RSVP before 12 noon Thursday 8th November to Sandra Tortel, CorkBIC stortel AT corkbic DOT com or +353 21 230 7003 (places limited)
The pair of sessions are highly complementary and I aim to attend both.
BES/SCS Workshop in Rubicon on Monday
A workshop on the 2007-2013 Business Expansion Scheme (BES) and Seed Capital Scheme (SCS) will take place on Monday 12th November at 13:00 p.m. in the Rubicon Centre.
The Revenue Commissioners (Cillian Byrne & Susan Cummins) will be presenting and Gerry O’Brien, Enterprise Ireland will also be in attendance. Focused on startup and developing companies, the format is a workshop as it is intended to be interactive and give you plenty of opportunity for questions and answers.
Places are limited and strictly by registration so please register with Margaret Walsh mwalsh@gep.ie or (021) 492 8900
Mnay thanks to GEP and EI for arranging this, I know many of us are eager to hear the nitty gritty.
Next OpenCoffee this Friday in the Rubicon
Thanks to all who turned up for the impromptu OpenCoffee on Monday and my apologies for my absence, we had an urgent site problem.
The next meet-up is the regular bi-weekly one in the Rubicon at 10am this Friday. Please email me at corkopencoffee AT gmail DOT com if you wish to sponsor and provide some scones/biscuits for this session.
A few quick notes:
- Big congratulations to Cubic Telecom and Pat Phelan for the it@cork win
- There are two BES/SCS info sessions happening on Nov 12th. I’ll post further details later today.
- There have been several requests to have a few sessions in different venues. This would have the advantage of attracting more people overall to attend OCC wherever it is on. The main suggestion seems to be the NSC so please let me know your opinion on Friday or here in the comments about having the odd session there.
