🌟Enterprise Ireland launches a new initiative
We are always looking for ways to improve the New Frontiers programme and make it more accessible. Founders cannot always commit to the full-time Phase 2 programme, as they are unwilling or unable to leave their jobs. In response to this, Enterprise Ireland - in partnership with TU Dublin - developed a pilot part-time Phase 2 programme called New Frontiers Accelerate.
The pilot programme was launched in June of this year, with 14 senior professionals from a variety of Irish and international organisations taking part. They each have a business idea that they want to test, validate, and grow with the help of this programme, which is delivered through a series of bootcamp residential weekends, on-line sessions, and self-directed learning.
We very much hope that this programme will become a feature of the New Frontiers programme in the future.
