I need to apologise in advance, because I am *sure* to accidentally forget to tag someone in this post! There were just too many amazing folk involved with the all-island TechFoundHer Innovation Labs programme. Through consultancy services, I've put the S back into ESG - designing unique, cost-effective, and impactful Social Value Delivery Plans for SMEs and large corporates (including some of NI's Top 100/10 companies), as well as providing ongoing oversight and management of multi-year Social Value Delivery Plans. Through providing these services, I could see the complexities of this ecosystem; how many disjointed gaps there are, as well as the missed income opportunities for social enterprises and potential ramifications for companies if social value is not well managed. The concept for Inspired Social Value, an integrated social value matching and management platform, was born. It was a privilege to be accepted on to TechFoundHer's first Innovation Labs programme; designed to equip female entrepreneurs with the tools and skills needed to innovate with technology. Delivered and supported by a roll call of Champions and Experts, myself and 34 other creative, passionate, and skilled women were provided with insights, frameworks, and the tools needed to progress our ideas. Ideas that were taken seriously - for technology solutions reaching across sectors and society - everything from tourism to education and enterprise to healthcare. A special thank you to Máirín Murray for delivering a game-changing programme, as well as to Dr Lollie Mancey, Áine Denn, Miriam Elst, Jenny Ervine, Tina Calder, Alison McMurtrie, and Jemma Simpson for sharing their knowledge and experiences. Thanks also to Claire Brannigan, Pauline Timoney, and Angela Wilson, my fellow participants who are always up for discussing MVPs over a Guinness. There is more work to do, and this programme is just the beginning. But it has given me a clear roadmap for the way forward and I'm excited to see where I take Inspired Social Value to next. Innovation Labs was supported by InterTradeIreland, Invest Northern Ireland, and Enterprise Ireland through the Shared Island initiative. I am hopeful it will be the first of many. #TechFoundHer #InnovationLabs #FemaleEntrepreneurship #FemaleFounder #TechStartUp #ESG #SocialValue
