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.
Over the years, the programme has supported recent graduates returning to Ireland from foreign travels, international students interested in staying in Ireland to develop their start-up and late stage Masters or PhD students working on a start-up idea.
The IGNITE programme has worked with 170 start-ups over the last 12 years and these companies have created more than 370 jobs.
DEADLINE – FEBRUARY 26
Corkman Stephen MacCarthy, co-founder and CTO of RecruitRoo, is one of those who completed the programme in October 2022. He graduated from UCD with a Masters Degree and returned to Cork to develop his start-up.
RecruitRoo provides companies with access to global talent by building technology solutions that reduce the friction of screening, migration and onboarding. Last year, the company secured funding of €1 million from Delta Partners with participation from Enterprise Ireland and several other investors.
Applications close on Monday, February 26th – apply on ignite.ucc.ie
