In 2016 the Grangegorman Labour and Learning Forum (GLLF) established a Grangegorman Business & Enterprise Group whose aims are to raise awareness of the potential from the Grangegorman Development for local businesses and to explore how the GLLF might support the local business community, particularly microbusinesses, SMEs and social enterprises.
The current focus of the Grangegorman Business & Enterprise Group is on:
- building awareness around the Grangegorman Development and its potential for neighbouring businesses and business networks;
- providing opportunities for local businesses to come together to network and to learn more about initiatives, opportunities and supports of interest to them;
- identifying and supporting opportunities for linkages between TU Dublin staff and students, and local businesses.
The Group organises regular Grangegorman Business Breakfast networking and information events for the local business community and their support organisations. These events are free of charge and take place on the TU Dublin Grangegorman Campus.
As part of the commitment to supporting local businesses, the Grangegorman Development Agency (GDA) maintains a register of businesses in Dublin 7 and Dublin 1. Registration is free and the register is used by the GDA, TU Dublin, Grangegorman contractors and stakeholders to identify suitable local providers of supplies and services. You can find the registration form here.
