This afternoon.
City Hall, Dublin
Just some of the 281 producers of Irish made foodstuffs in the Food Academy programme.
The Food Academy programme is a workshop initiative of Local Enterprise Offices in the local authorities network, Bord Bia and SuperValu to nurture new start-ups in the food and drink sector.
Since the programme began in 2013, over 1,100 products have ‘trialled’ and are now on sale through SuperValu stores and are expected to generate 25million euros in retail sales in 2016 thNOMNOMNOM

Protein Water.
I hope it bankrupts them.
Best sports drink? Milk. Yep. Low fat cows milk. Both hydrates faster (even over water) and is most effective post exercise of any kind of protein based drink.
Never seen any of them in supervalu.
Have they tried Lidl or Aldi.
Protein water…. so basically blood?
TruBlood(c)
or man juices
No bodyshaming but if yours are coming out that colour, I’d probably get it checked.
Are Ice pops now considered a food?
Yer wan from the apprentice still pushing that stuff
Best of luck to all these entrepreneurs, it takes alot of courage and spondoolies to start your own business.
The Protein Water may seem gimmicky etc but sure if these young men didn’t give it a shot, someone else would, like everything, and if there’s a market for it their business will thrive.
“it takes alot of courage and spondoolies to start your own business.”
It doesn’t really. I’ve started three, sold two and it really wasn’t that hard. There’s far too much blind adoration of so-called ‘start-ups’. What’s really hard is keeping a business up to date and thriving in the long term.
Lots of start-ups are vanity projects for rich kids who end up wasting other people’s time and money until they get bored.
Very few are smart viable enterprises. And to those, I wish them all the best.
Ha, lol.
No one believes you, Mr T.
My thoughts exactly.
Selling the assets – a pram – and a catch phrase for a tagline – “two for a pow-end” – is not really selling a business.
No black pudding or white pudding or cheese.
@ Tish
I admire anyone that decides to give working for themselves a shot – I’m looking into it at the moment and am a little apprehensive and nervous but if I don’t bite the bullet this year I may never do it.
