Peter Thiel & Nevers Innovation hub

The best business book I read last year was Peter Thiel's Zero to One.

Great insights into business and innovation, it was complemented with my visit to Nevers in France to witness an innovation tech hub in action with the Local Enterprise boards of Clare & Limerick or the LEO's as they are now known.

It was my feeling that a shared building where start-ups of all types could avail of a cool space for client meetings, work and to just bounce amazing ideas off each other would serve Clare amazingly leading to more jobs and allowing the great minds formed here to stay and find work here.

Each start-up growing & achieving more benefiting ten fold by being around like minded ambitious entrepreneurs.

The Clare LEO has a great range of grants and soft help available for start-ups be sure and check them out if you live in the county here https://www.localenterprise.ie/Clare/About-Us/.

Be sure and have a read of Thiel's excellent book and watch his top 10 tips for success below.
