Emerging start-ups, social entrepreneurs, corporate leaders and business professionals focused on tackling real-world challenges through innovation are invited to attend a WorkIQ event in Dublin on 29 August.
Work IQ, the new home of start-ups and growing enterprises in South Dublin, is hosting Seed to Success – Where Ideas Boom, an immersive event designed for budding startups, seasoned executives, and anyone who has identified a real-world challenge they would like to solve.

The diverse event will help participants nurture their business concepts and watch them grow, with feedback and support from like-minded individuals.
Diversity and design thinking for social change
The purpose of Seed to Success is to bring together passionate individuals in a supportive environment where they can share budding ideas and watch them flourish. Attendees can gain invaluable insights from a diverse group of thinkers and learn about the principles of Design Thinking – a process which focuses on collaboration between designers and users.

The exchange of ideas and experiences at the event will lead to more inclusive and globally relevant solutions. Attendees simply have to bring their seed of an idea and watch it sprout!
