SPEAKERSJonny Clarke – Founder of Inkspirational Branding

Jonny Clarke is the founder of Inkspirational Branding, a Lisburn-based printer and branding company launched in May 2024.

With several years of industry experience, Jonny created Inkspirational Branding to provide customised branding solutions for both corporate clients and the public. Specialising in items like clothing, pens, and mugs, the business has quickly become known for its professional service and innovative offerings.

Thanks to support from the government-backed Go Succeed programme, Jonny has been able to fast-track his business growth. Through masterclasses, one-to-one mentoring, and grant funding, he enhanced his marketing skills and invested in state-of-the-art equipment, including a laser engraver. This has allowed Inkspirational Branding to expand its range of services, with plans to introduce embroidery in the near future.

Emma Stephenson – Founder of Feminatech and Creator of M-Power

Emma Stephenson is the founder of Feminatech and the creator of M-Power, an innovative menopause tracking app that pairs with wearable technology to provide personalised insights and solutions. Inspired by her background in Electrical Engineering at Queen’s University Belfast and her own experience with health tracking apps, Emma is passionate about transforming menopause care through AI-driven technology.

M-Power addresses a critical gap in female healthcare, offering tools to track symptoms, identify patterns, and provide tailored advice. Designed to empower users, the app supports women in confidently advocating for their health, connecting them to services like therapy, yoga, and nutrition. Employers also benefit, as M-Power enhances employee wellbeing and reduces costs associated with absenteeism and staff turnover.

Emma is also the Lisburn & Castlereagh winner of the Go Succeed: The Ultimate Pitch competition 2024 where she picked up the local prize and went on to win the Rising Star Award for Lisburn & Castlereagh as well as the regional Rising Star Award.
