Great to host our Lunch & Learn yesterday with Bird & Bird Ireland ๐ฎ๐ช
We explored how startups and scaling businesses can protect and commercialise their Intellectual Property โ from trademarks and design rights to NDAs and market entry strategy.
๐ก Key takeaway: strong, evidence-backed cases showed just how valuable a well-built IP portfolio can be โ not just for protection, but as a real business asset.
The session was highly interactive, with lots of great questions throughout, and real-life case examples that brought the discussion to life.
Huge thanks to Sarah McMullen and Isabel Humburg for sharing their expertise and practical insights ๐
๐ If youโre interested in AI and legal risk, theyโre also hosting a free webinar on 12 May:
โAI Disputes Decoded: Trends in AI Litigationโ โ a great overview of AI and liability concerns.

๐ Can your business thrive within the Doughnut?
This week at the Guinness Enterprise Centre Sustainability Cluster, we hosted โFinding the Courage to Drive Changeโ โ a hands-on workshop bringing the ideas of Doughnut Economics to life.
Inspired by the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL), participants stepped beyond theory and into action โ using movement, collaboration, and physical mapping to explore the โsafe and just spaceโ where people, communities, and businesses can thrive within planetary boundaries.
Huge thanks to our incredible co-facilitators:
โจ Dr Olivia Freeman and Dr Lucia Walsh from Technological University Dublin
โจ Roisin Markham, founder of the Doughnut Economics Network
The energy, curiosity, and courage in the room showed that sustainability is more than a concept โ itโs a practice. Participants left with practical tools and renewed confidence to lead change in their startups, scale-ups, and organisations.
๐ก Key takeaway: real change starts with courage, creativity, and designing solutions that work for people and planet.
Thanks to our amazing community of innovators and sustainability champions helping shape regenerative business in Dublin and beyond.

๐ฅ 25 years of the Guinness Enterprise Centre!
What a week! โค๏ธ From inspiring conversations at our Startup to Scale Conference to an unforgettable black-tie celebration at the Guinness Storehouse, weโve been reminded just how special the GEC community really is.
๐ Founders, entrepreneurs and industry leaders came together to share ideas, experiences and advice to help shape the future of Irish entrepreneurship.
๐ Together, we raised over โฌ2,000 for Look Good Feel Better and The Little Flower Penny Dinners. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
โจ Our GEC 25 Black Tie Dinner was a night to remember, with entertainment from the Atomic Allstar Majorettes, a fantastic speech from Mark Little and a brilliant bodhrรกn session with The Bodhrรกn Buzz.
๐ We were also delighted to recognise Tom Brunkard, GEC Board member and local entrepreneur, with a special award honouring his involvement with the GEC from the very beginning. Thank you, Tom, for being part of our story!
To everyone who attended, supported, sponsored, spoke, performed and helped bring these celebrations to life, **thank you!** These 25 years would not have been possible without you.
Hereโs to our incredible community, 25 years of entrepreneurship and an exciting future ahead! ๐ฅโค๏ธ
