Get Funding Ready

This series of workshops is to help researchers to apply for Enterprise Ireland funding programmes. This is a series of 4 workshops on November 3, 17, 25 & Dec 1. It is recommended that you attend all 4 events as each week builds on the previous one. We will run this series again in the spring time if this set of dates does not suit you. Demonstrating the market opportunity for your innovation combined with evidence of engagement with potential customers is key to attracting Enterprise Ireland and Research Ireland commercialisation grants in 2026. Get Funding Ready is for UCD Researchers who want to develop a winning Commercialisation Fund application and begin the journey of translating research from lab to market to deliver impact. The team at NovaUCD have broken down the application form into 4 sessions that will support you in developing the critical content needed for a high quality proposal. Together we will use new AI tools available at NovaUCD to research and quantify the market and competitive landscape. The programme is designed to provide you with sufficient time and effective tools to identify and engage with target customers to gather the data and evidence that will support your application. The final day will bring together representatives from Enterprise Ireland, Venture Capital and Industry experts to review your pitch and provide valuable feedback for your final application.
