We are an industry led business network from the West & North West of Ireland linked with 3rd level Academic Institutions, IDA, Enterprise Ireland, Local Enterprise Office and Chambers of Commerce.
Our Mission is to promote Lean methodologies across all sectors and to share ideas that foster competitiveness for success.
Each year we develop a calendar of events, a mix of seminars and best practice visits to companies within and outside the region.
