External to the unversity?

We believe the knowledge and innovations generated by our research should positively impact on society and the economy.  So our team works with industry, tech scouts, investors and other organisations to achieve this.  

For example:

License technologies: Our team includes highly-trained commercialisation executives and business specialists who use their scientific and business backgrounds to identify commercial pathways for research discoveries. We have over 25 technologies – patented or patent pending – suitable for further commercialisation. Visit our portfolio page here.

Collaborate: Every year we support over 40 industry collaborations, we can help you identify potential academic partners for research funding opportunities in Ireland and Europe.

Join our start-ups: Our Business Innovation Centre is at the heart of our innovation ecosystem. We welcome external startups seeking to collaborate and engage with our research community

So whether you are an entrepreneur, a start-up, an SME, a large corporation, a sustainable enterprise or non-profit, we are here. Contact us.
