Network West Cork is a dynamic network for all entrepreneurs, owner/managers and business people of West Cork. Business networking is a vital marketing tool. Networking allows business people to build relationships and generate new business opportunities. It is an exceptionally cost-effective way of promoting your business, more powerful and sustaining than any advertising or public relations efforts. Networking has become an essential skill for growing a business. Since 2007, the West Cork Enterprise Board has been running a Small Business Network and a Women in Business Network. These Networks have been re-branded and re-launched as Network West Cork - Business to Business.

We will hold a number of Networking Events throughout the year including Women in Business Events. The events are free of charge and the only thing we ask of you, is to bring yourself and your business cards. The main objective at each meeting is NETWORKING. We facilitate you to network through organised promotional opportunities and activities. Come along to one of our up-coming events to see what you can gain for both you and your business by networking.
