Hi,
I’m David and I look after Business Incubation on the TU Dublin campuses.
The mission of Business Incubation is to empower early-stage entrepreneurs by providing them with the resources they need to transform their innovative ideas into thriving startups and beyond. We do this through providing affordable workspaces (own door offices and community workspaces); programmes such as the Enterprise Ireland New Frontiers Programme and mentorship from our experienced team and our wider community of entrepreneurs and growing businesses.
Based in a TU Dublin Incubator gives you access to the expertise of one of Ireland’s largest Universities with broad range of business, engineering, science & other courses which produce some of the best industry ready interns and graduates, as well as opportunities to leverage research through IP development or licencing.
Our Business Incubation Centres are on our Blanchardstown, Grangegorman and Tallaght campuses with an additional step-up facility in Citywest. If you are a technology or knowledge driven business, then please reach out to me or one of the team for an informal conversation and maybe arrange a no-obligation viewing of a Business Incubation Centre.
Prior to joining TU Dublin, I spent my career in technology industries. I graduated as an engineer and worked in progressively more senior roles across product development, manufacturing, customer support and sales. I’ve worked in a variety of Irish and multinational companies, all of which were startups, either scaling globally or developing new greenfield sites. So, I have a unique perspective on the challenges of starting and scaling businesses as well as managing different functions. I’ve always enjoyed working with startups and our goal is to help your startup succeed.
