Enterprise Academy celebrates achievements of students at the European Innovation Academy Programme 2024
TU Dublin’s Enterprise Academy would like to congratulate students Seán Breen and Patrick Haughey on their achievements at the European Innovation Academy (EIA) entrepreneurship accelerator programme during Summer 2024. One of the world's leading entrepreneurship study-abroad programs for students, the EIA provides teaching, mentorship and practical skills to participants taking them from an idea to a start-up company in just 15 days.
Their attendance at the event this year was sponsored by the Bolton Trust and the Enterprise Academy through a competition open to all TU Dublin students. Applicants selected to join the event in Porto were judged on the strength of the demonstrable skills they could bring to the interdisciplinary teams that participate in EIA, and on their entrepreneurial abilities and ambitions.
EIA is run in conjunction with UC Berkeley, Stanford University and Google. Cross discipline teams from over 65 countries experience ideation, funding, patenting, pitching, prototyping, launching, marketing all the way through to successful sales of the business. This year’s program had a particular focus on problems worth solving and complemented the Sustainable Development Goals. Congratulations Seán and Patrick!
