Strategy 1 Direct the primary work of Ballymun Partnership as a catalyst for developing two strands of economic development in this time of regeneration, i.e. Inward Investment and Local Development, by bringing together local businesses / agencies / other economic parties to offer IDA style service specific to Ballymun and develop proposals with DCU to support local knowledge-based industrial development.
Strategy 2 To provide and manage workspace units while, at the same time, develop a community trust to attract more investment in support for the Ballymun community emerging as a result of the opportunities of the regeneration programme.
Ballymun Enterprise Service will not only continue to provide and develop workspaces for local entrepreneurs and established businesses recruiting local people. It will also continue to research, develop and provide new workspaces within the regeneration programme.
Strategy 3 Maintain and develop current advisory services into mainstream enterprise support services i.e. through Dublin City Enterprise Board / Socail Welfare for Ballymun people who have an ability to take up self-employment through business start-up as an employment option.
Strategy 4 To promote knowledge-based economic development in North Dublin with a specific focus on industry demands for labour and skills and the untapped potential of Ballymun people, particularily in the area of the Medical Instrument, Bio-Pharma, Hotel and Retail Service sectors and where existing jobs are threatened by the shift of certain types of employment to the Far East & Eastern Europe.
