Enterprise Ireland's Campus Incubation programme supports the establishment of incubation centres on Higher Education campuses across Ireland. If the following questions apply to you, locating in one of these centres may be one critical next step for you and your business.
- Are you starting a technology-based company with strong potential to grow and to export?
- Does building a relationship with a higher education institution form part of your planned strategic development?
- Are you looking for a supportive environment in which to develop your enterprise and to foster links with academic research and technology partners?
The campus incubation centres that we support (with assistance from the European Regional Development Fund) can provide an ideal environment for companies such as yours with access to:
- Mentoring on key aspects of business development, including market research,
finance and R&D commercialisation
- The research and technological expertise of the host institution
- A prestigious address with high quality office space
- R&D facilities on campus
- A pool of students for placements and recruitment
Spending a couple of years in this environment may be precisely what your enterprise at its particular stage of development needs to become sustainable before you move out, and on, to even greater success.
If you are interested in locating in one of the Business Incubation Centres, you should contact them directly.
