You are invited to the TUS Business Start-up Awards 2024, celebrating the 11 founders that have completed the Enterprise Ireland New Frontiers phase 2 programme with TUS Limerick’s Hartnett Enterprise Acceleration Centre.

At the event, hosted at the ENGINE Collaboration Centre in the heart of Limerick City, you will have the opportunity to hear from the founders and their teams who have just completed the intense entrepreneurial development programme for ambitious early-stage entrepreneurs as well as a chance to hear from the EI New Frontiers National Programme Manager and TUS Midwest New Frontiers team.

We are joined by four alumni of the New Frontiers programme: Shane Ryan, Fiid; Mark Cochrane, Trackplan; Paul Byrnes, Mavarick and Edel Breslin, Oirtonics.   

We are delighted to have representatives from Enterprise Ireland, the Local Enterprise Offices in the Midwest, Cork BIC, and the NDRC all joining us on the day.

This year’s awards celebrate our startup ecosystem with local to global potential! Let us gather, support and celebrate the work that these businesses have done this year.
