Biz Expo is delighted to announce that Zen Pensions has come on board as a sponsor and exhibitor for Biz Expo 2026. The event takes place on Thursday 29 October 2026 at the Talbot Hotel Stillorgan, Dublin, and attendance is free for registered visitors.
Zen Pensions is Ireland's first fully digital, app-based workplace pension, designed from the ground up for Irish businesses. Its arrival at Biz Expo comes at a timely moment for the country's SME community, with pension auto-enrolment now live and employers across Ireland reviewing how they meet their obligations.
Pensions are one of the largest costs an employer carries, yet they are frequently the benefit staff engage with least. Zen Pensions was built to close that gap.
Employees receive a mobile app that shows their pension balance, contributions, projections and documentation in real time, all in one place. New team members can onboard themselves through the app in under five minutes. Charges are kept simple, with a single annual fee of between 0.7% and 0.9% and no hidden costs layered on top.
Employers get the same simplicity on their side of the arrangement. Administration typically takes around five minutes a month, and there are no setup or administration fees to absorb.
Auto-enrolment has made a workplace pension a legal requirement rather than a nice-to-have. As Zen Pensions points out, however, meeting the obligation and offering a pension that employees actually value are two very different things.
A Zen Pensions PRSA gives employers a low-cost, compliant route to a workplace pension while handing employees far more control, flexibility and visibility over their retirement savings. Zen Pensions is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, approved by the Pensions Authority and backed by Enterprise Ireland.
For the small and medium-sized businesses that make up the core of the Biz Expo audience, that combination of compliance, low cost and minimal admin is likely to prompt plenty of questions on the day.
Visitors to Biz Expo 2026 will be able to meet the Zen Pensions team in person, see the app in action and get straight answers on auto-enrolment, PRSAs, fees and switching from an existing scheme.
Business owners, HR leads, office managers and finance teams are all encouraged to stop by the stand. Whether a company is setting up its first pension scheme or reviewing one that is no longer fit for purpose, a face-to-face conversation is often the fastest way to work out the next step.
Running in Dublin since 2011, Biz Expo is Ireland's leading SME business expo, bringing thousands of decision-makers together for a single day of exhibitors, seminars and networking. Key themes for 2026 include AI and automation, rising costs and profitability, sales and marketing, recruitment and retention, cybersecurity, funding and business growth, and wellbeing for business owners.
