You are invited to the TUS Business Start-up Awards 2022.

At the event, you will have the opportunity to hear from the founders and their teams who have just completed the TUS New Frontiers programme - the Enterprise Ireland National Entrepreneur Development Programme for early-stage high potential start-ups as well as a chance to hear from the TUS New Frontiers team.

We have incredible start-ups again this year, who will be joining the TUS start-up entrepreneurial community and looking to take advantage of the networks' strengths regarding funding opportunities, advice from mentors, professionals and fellow entrepreneurs and leverage introductions to other networks – all to help them develop and grow their businesses. This year’s awards are a celebration of our start-up ecosystem with global potential! Let us gather, support and celebrate the work that these businesses have done this year.

New Frontiers

TUS run the National Entrepreneur Development Programme for Enterprise Ireland called New Frontiers at its Hartnett Enterprise Acceleration Centre supported by the TUS centres Questum and TCEC and in collaboration with UL Nexus. The programme’s primary purpose is to accelerate the development of sustainable new businesses that have strong employment and growth potential and contribute to job creation and economic activity in regional locations.

New Frontiers is designed for individuals who have an innovative business idea that has the potential to create a manufacturing or internationally traded services business with employment potential, can show evidence of a commercial market for their proposed product/service and are ambitious, growth-orientated and committed to engaging fully in all aspects of the programme.
