Dublin’s new commissioner for start-ups Niamh Bushnell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, how she\u2019s going to do this? What exactly does Dublin have to offer domestic and foreign start ups that they won\u2019t get anywhere else? Is it all about tax and jobs and allowing Enda and the suits press shiny buttons and make big announcements? What\u2019s the real effect on the city\u2019s rep as a start up hub of gatherings like the\u00a0Web Summit<\/a>? Has the Commish got pots of cash to offer the would-bes, newbies and tyros?<\/p>\n

Join us for the very first Banter Uptown<\/strong> at the lovely\u00a0MVP<\/a>\u00a0pub (29 Upper Clanbrassil Street) on Tuesday November 4 as we hear from the commissioner about her plans and aims. Doors open 6pm, the Bantering starts at 6.30pm, admission is free and you can book tickets\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ll be doing more Banter Uptown<\/strong> events at the MVP in the coming weeks and months so stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
