Entrepreneurship

Teagasc's entrepreneurship programmes such as the Start Fund and Catalysing Connections enable the delivery of novel, disruptive technologies and services to the market directly supporting the future of the Irish Agri-Food sector.  

Entrepreneurship has a role to play in achieving Teagasc Together strategy for innovation and the delivery of Strategic Goals 2, 3 and 4. High potential, research-based technologies including novel ingredients, valorisation of waste streams, digitalisation of farm management and emerging solutions for emission reduction can be swiftly realised as products through commercial spin-outs.  

Our role  in Teagasc TTO, is to support Teagasc researchers through the journey from concept to spin-out via funding supports, mentorship, market research, planning, network building and ultimately establishing a new venture.
