Work West Enterprise Agency

An award winning organisation which supports businesses on their entrepreneurial journeys.

Work West is passionate about encouraging economic resilience in West Belfast and beyond. We strive to help our clients achieve this through stimulating enterprise and innovation.

Located in the heart of West Belfast we offer work-space and office accommodation for private and social enterprises to start up and grow.

For the past 30 years Work West has delivered mentoring and training for aspiring and existing private and social entrepreneurs. We are recognised as a market leader in Northern Ireland for our social enterprise support.

We understand the value of innovation in relation to our mission of promoting economic resilience and use our 'thinc' programmes which combine design thinking and creative problem solving methodologies to help school children, third sector organisations and businesses to come up with new ideas and concepts which could lead to entrepreneurial activity.
