For years, the assumption has been that entrepreneurial ambition is something you either have or you don't. New independent research from DCU Business School & DCU Institute for Business and Society challenges that directly.

Diane Reilly spent over two decades working in the NHS. She didn't consider herself an entrepreneur. She almost didn't come. Hello Possible came to her hometown of Enniskillen and it changed everything. She is now developing Endovia, a pre-consultation tool for women with endometriosis, accepted onto the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme and a finalist in the GoSucceed Big Pitch Competition.

Diane is not an exception. She is the point.

86% of Hello Possible participants left the programme wanting to start their own business. Many arrived with no entrepreneurial intention at all. Delivered across east Belfast, Magherafelt, Enniskillen and Cushendall - communities across Northern Ireland where entrepreneurship has not always felt like an option, the results are unambiguous.

Entrepreneurs can be made.
