The event, organised by multi-disciplinary media and marketing agency Excalibur Press, is designed to provide entrepreneurs with the tools and strategies to overcome challenges and take their businesses to the next level.
As the CEO of Raise Ventures, Jenny works closely with tech startups, helping them through every phase of development, from building and commercialisation to investor readiness.

Jenny’s talk, titled ‘Creating An Innovative Mindset In Your Business’, will focus on how entrepreneurs can leverage technology and innovation to simplify their operations, improve efficiency and foster a culture of creativity within their teams.
Outlining what attendees can expect from her discussion, Jenny said: “I hope listeners will be inspired to think about problems in their own business and use technology and innovation to make life easier.
“I want to advise people to put value on what they do and their skill set.”
Entrepreneurs Unleashed, sponsored by Belfast City Council, will feature a diverse and dynamic lineup of speakers who will share their expertise on a wide range of topics essential for entrepreneurial success.
Event attendees will have the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, exchange ideas and explore new business opportunities, making it an incredible opportunity for both budding entrepreneurs and seasoned business leaders.

Tina Calder, Chief Vision officer of parent company Excalibur Press and the visionary behind Entrepreneurs Unleashed, identified the importance of next week’s event for all involved.
She said: “Excalibur Press works with dozens of entrepreneurs each year and the one thing we realised was there wasn’t an event completely dedicated to those small to medium businesses who wanted to find ways of taking their business to the next level.
“We are lucky to have a fantastic array of corporate partners, consultants, and associates we work with on a regular basis so we decided to incorporate the fantastic expertise and knowledge they bring to our extended team.”
Jenny’s wealth of experience in the startup ecosystem spans across various sectors, including SaaS, hardware and digital media, with her role as an active investor and advisor providing her with valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that tech startups face.
Through Raise Ventures, Jenny supports businesses at every stage of their journey, helping them scale and attract the right investment.
An unmissable event for entrepreneurs looking to take their business heights, Jenny said she chose to take part in the inaugural Entrepreneurs Unleashed due to the unique concept being a brilliant way to bring together a local community of business owners and industry heavyweights.
She said: “Entrepreneurs Unleashed is a great new event bringing together and inspiring business owners and entrepreneurs who are often on their own.
“I hope my experience can inspire others to be innovative, creative and continue their journey of their business.”
Entrepreneurs Unleashed is sponsored by Belfast City Council, Belfast Met, MovieHouse, MCS Branding, Oranga Creative, Media Print & Design and Excalibur Press.
