THE IGNITE programme at UCC, which helps start-ups to progress to the next level, is accepting new applications for the next start-up incubation programme starting in April 2024.

The programme is open to anyone who has graduated from a third level institution in recent years and has the passion and ambition to work on an idea that has the potential for economic, environmental or social impact.

The IGNITE programme has worked with 170 start-ups over the last 12 years and these companies have created more than 370 jobs.

IGNITE Director Eamon Curtin said: “We are extremely proud of all our graduates who have demonstrated determination and commitment to their start-up idea and have worked extremely hard to turn it into a commercial reality.

We have seen some really exciting businesses come out of the programme and we are looking forward to working with the next group of participants.”
